Trying to keep with the healthy theme I have going on in my life, I bring to you this amazing chocolate pie. Please, PLEASE, don't let the tofu scare you. You wont even taste it. Just silky smooth chocolate that wont make you fall off the wagon. That is...if your on a wagon! A little piece of heaven it is. Pure bliss, I assure you!
The Blond Duck is having Pie Week over at the pond and I'm submitting this pie to her. A decadent silky smooth chocolate pie that wont bust a gut. Inless you eat the whole the pie. Well then, my little buddy..., your on your own!

Very interesting!!! I am tempted to try this!! I have to look for the tofu. It looks nice and silky!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good, I'm always looking for more ways to incorporate tofu into my diet.
ReplyDeleteA healthy indulgence!! It looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI am TOTALLY going to try this! Silken tofu in desserts is my friend :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! And you're definately a princess of pie now!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your honest and and I can trust you!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks silky..:)
OMG what a great idea. I hide tofu in lots of things so I'm sure this would be no different!
ReplyDeleteMegan, you struck my chocoloate nerve. I've never had tofu, but I'm willing to bet that it would taste great with a healthy dose of chocolate. Nice looking pie!
ReplyDeleteThe tofu did scare me a bit, but I really do need to get more adventurous and definitely need to start eating better.
ReplyDeleteMegan, I'm glad you enjoyed my list of recipe bloggers. I have just added your blog to the list. You have some great recipes here, good work!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. I like Chocolate Silk Pie and am willing to try it with tofu. I have an award for you on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI made this today and have it in the fridge as we speak. I literally licked the bowl clean!! I poured it all into my food processor and it did the trick. We are having dinner with some other couples tonight and I am not going to tell them what is in it until after they have eaten it! Is that mean? I really think not. :)
ReplyDeleteNeat, I've always meant to do something like this with tofu! Maybe I'll do it sans crust, the filling is always the best part.
ReplyDeleteThat looks good, I've not tried tofu in a dessert before.
ReplyDeleteThis looks heavenly - I have made a chocolate cake with tofu before, and I adore chocolate pie, so this sounds like a winner to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving a nice comment! I think I get way too excited when people comment on my stuff. So I've only tried tofu in these noodles called Shakitari noodles that are so good, and I love them so I would probably like this too!

ReplyDeleteI have actually never tried tofu - maybe I should try this recipe out!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious. Healthy and so decadent looking , I am there.
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! My mom always made tofu cheesecake when I was growing up and I loved that too...I will have to see if I can pass this by on Grumpy!
