Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips (about 10 ounces)

  • 1 12.3-ounce shelf-stable package firm silken tofu (see Tip)

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen (thawed), plus more for garnish

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

Directions

  1. Put chocolate chips in a medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted.

  2. Place tofu in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup and vanilla. Process again until smooth. Add raspberries and confectioners' sugar and process until very smooth; scraping down the sides as necessary. Spread the mixture into the crust. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Garnish with raspberries, if desired.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Look for shelf-stable silken tofu in the Asian foods section or near shelf-stable soymilk in natural-foods stores and some well-stocked supermarkets. If you can't find it, refrigerated silken tofu can be used in its place in this recipe. It's usually sold in a 1-pound container, but you'll only need 1 1/3 cups for this recipe.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
