yikes. this recipe calls for adding way too much chocolate chips. I was expecting a swirl type pie, not too sweet, and the mixture wound up being all chocolate and way too sweet! So I threw in some more tofu to neutralize it, but i had no more cream cheese. so all i need to do is get more cream cheese and add it in to the mixture to make it less chocolaty, b/c man, this stuff is out of control. and i really didn't get the whole maple syrup thing. i guess the chocolate overkill messed that one up too. if you are not into anything too sweet, do not use a whole 12 oz. package of chocolate chips for this recipe! baaaaaaaaaaaad moooove
also if you are using a regular pie crust, you only need half the ingredients (and about a third of the chocolate chips :|) as I actually have enough mixture for two pies. I had to freeze the rest. Ah well live and learn, folks!

Wow. I have made this pie quite a few times and it is absolutely decadent! Easy to make, superb consistency, very rich with lots of chocolate goodness. This year, my husband even requested it instead of a traditional birthday cake. My co-workers request it for our potlucks and everyone is shocked to learn that it is made with Tofu. TERRIFIC!!!!!

Superb! I made this for thanksgiving 2005. Was awesome on top of a crushed Newman Os crust. I will be making this again. Rich, chocolatey goodness that everyone, even the meat eaters, moaned in ecstacy over. Thank you for this great recipe!
