Chocolate Tofu Pie

If you weren’t already convinced that tofu could be used in anything, then try this recipe out. This incredibly simple pie filling recipe takes only 4 ingredients and tastes amazing. It’s also way healthier than standard pudding filling recipes and, if you sub out the honey for agave nectar, you can make it vegan.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 blocks extra-firm silken tofu (I prefer the Mori Nu brand)
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tbsp butter

Directions

Filling

  1. Blend tofu in food processor until very smooth.
  2. Add the honey, cocoa powder, and vanilla and blend until completely mixed (make sure to use a spatula to clean off the sides).

Graham Cracker Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 425F
  2. Beat egg white until peaks are just starting to form.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the egg white into the graham crackers.
  4. Melt the butter and add to the bowl. Mix with a fork.
  5. Pour the mixture into a pie dish and press into the bottom and sides to form the pie crust.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.

Assembly

  1. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread out evenly with a spatula.
  2. Optional: Use chocolate syrup to make a fancy design.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
