Silken (Tofu) Chocolate Pie

Recipe By : Susan Murie
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pies

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 cartons firm silken (Japanese) tofu
6 ozs chocolate chips
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 graham cracker crust

This is an easy chocolate pie made with tofu. Very mousse-like!

Beat tofu at high in mixer about 5 minutes or so until smooth. Melt
chocolate chips and beat into tofu mixture. Beat in maple syrup. Pour into
prepared crust. Chill at least 2 hours. I find overnight is even better.
