Gotta tell you my 19 year old Homer almost ate the whole pie. He was *highly* suspicious of it howe'ver, and kept asking what was in it, since I try to keep a very low fat kitchen! He once told me if he tried hard he doubted if he could come up with 1/2 gram of fat in the whole kitchen! I took it as a compliment, I think he meant it as a slam! :-)!

This is a delicious dessert! HOWEVER.... There are 96 grams of fat in a 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips, there is fat in the pie crust and there is a small amount of fat in tofu.

Fantastic! I sent the link to this recipe to most people in my address book. I made mine with carob chips...it is so good. Thank you!

Uh, I have a comment. I liked it, I am accustomed to the taste of tofu. Howe'ver, my very carnivorous friends hated it, it retains the consistancy of tofu. Melting the carob chips was a pain in the butt, they turn hard so quickly that its hard to get all of it out. This was a frustrating recipie.

Use a blender or food processor and blend that tofu for a LONG time! It will get very smooth if you wait long enough. try melting in the microwave! 30 seconds at a time or even less (like 15 second increments after a few 30s) Makes it alot easier
I have found you need fat to make our vegan food yummy! Otherwise it can only be compared to the fat free dairy versions! Fat makes it good hehe

did you use *silken* tofu? that stuff will have a yogurt consistency which is quite normal for any chocolate pie people who eat dairy would make. of course if you used normal tofu it'll come out extraordinarily disgusting.

I made this as a pudding and just tossed the whole thing in the food processer for a bit. Yummy. I used the silken waterpacked tofu and pressed it first. Yumm. Howe'ver, for some reason the chips got hard really fast in the tofu/banana mix and so it is more like banana chocolate chunk pudding. It didn't happen the first time I did this so who knows that happened! Yumm!
