frasers@elwha.evergreen.eduChocolate Peanutbutter PieIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 pound firm tofu
about 1/2 to 2/3 cups of melted vegan chocolate chips
1/2 to 2/3 cups peanut butter
soy milk to desired texture
your favorite pie crust, a vegan graham cracker crust is usually the best
Directions:Serves 8.
Put to tofu in a blender with the melted chocolate chips and the peanut butter with about a 1/2 cup of soymilk to start. Blend the ingredients together until very smooth, this may take a while if your blender is not super high powered. Then the fun part comes in: taste the mixture and see what else it needs. Add more chocolate and peanut butter to your liking. It may be necessary to add a little more soy milk if you are having trouble blending the yummy mixture. Put the mixture into a baked pie crust and smooth out the pie surface. You can make fancy designs in the surface if you want. Place the pie into the refrigerator for about 1 hour until it is firm to the touch. Cut and serve to the chocolate and peanut butter fans in your life. Yum Yum!!!

Crashe'd and burned on this one. Only VegWeb recipe ever to let me down. The most galling part was that people kept suggesting dairy solutions, like Try it with some ice cream! That would help! *sigh*

FANTASTIC!!!! I had meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans this pie with delight. I added more peanut butter and chocolate and I used white wave hard tofu. To Jude: do you think maybe a different tofu or something would help, because if you like peanut butter and chocolate this thing was a smash hit!!?!

This was much better than the Chocolate Pie Mix you buy at the Health Food Stores.

How long can a person live on this pie alone?

I was a bit skeptical on this one when I was done mixing it up, but after putting it on the crust and letting it refrigerate... WOW. Its so tasty! Its really rich-- probably because I ended up throwing in twice as much peanut butter and chocolate as recommended because I couldnt get rid of that soybeany flavor. I'd also recommend putting it in a bowl and using an electric mixer because my blender didn't quite cut it.

We ended up doubling the peanut butter and using a whole bag of chocolate chips to cover up the tofu taste, but that made it perfect!! This is a really yummy pie!

This is like eating wonderful fluffy chocolate peanut butter mousse in a pie crust. So good!! I used unsweetened bakers chocolate and just added some vegan sugar to sweeten it up. I also used a food processor instead of a blender, and the texture was creamy, rich, fluffy, and lovely.... I gotta go eat some more!

I didn't even see this one on here first, my other vegan friends shared it with me and I've since passed it to everyone I know (mostly omnivores even), I'm a real evangelist for this one. I always use one 12-oz package of tofu and almost a whole 16-oz bag of dark chocolate chips (minus a handful or two for testing of course)...the amount of peanut butter mentioned is just right, and I've even done it without the soy milk, works fine. YUM!! I'm seriously considering buying a blender for this recipe alone...I can LIVE on this stuff.

i am new to the vegetarian community, but I am trying to make this pie for my vegan friend on her b-day, I don't know what the best ingrediants to use are. Are there certain brand names that taste better in this mix? Please help me out, I am in left field!!! And how do I go about making a graham crust? pppllleeaasseee

Very easy. Combine 1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs with 6 Tbs melted butter or margarine (you can usually buy vegan margerine in a grocery store. Where I live (MI), I buy Soy Garden). Add a little sugar if you want. I recommend Silk soymilk or, if you want a more milky taste, Sun Soy. As for tofu, any kind is fine but homemade is always the best!! Although a lot of vegans don't know it, a lot of semisweet chocolate chips are vegan. The Sams Choice brand at Wal Mart and Sams Club is vegan as is the Meijer brand at Meijer.

I noticed a few people complaining about having to increase teh amountof chocolate and peanut butter to get rid of that Tofu taste... Either I'm crazy or maybe I just use different Tofu. For this pie, I use Mori-Nu brand firm silken Tofu. It has absolutely no flavour, and the texture of the end-result is to die for...

obeedoe, you can find vegan graham cracker crusts at normal food stores. I forget the brands, but I think there are a couple.. and I agree with nateloaf, Mori-Nu silken tofu is perfect for this type of recipe. very silky and smooth, no tofu type taste to it.

this is FANTASTIC. one of the recipes that you can mess with--or mess up with--and the result is still great. I misread graham cracker crust for just graham vegan crackers, so i ended up just putting about a spoonful of the choc-peanut mix between two graham crackers. the result was fantastic.

this was fantastic - especially for someone like me who manages to screw up microwave popcorn (pre-vegan). next time i think ill try it with dark chocolate and peppermint, sans peanut butter... girl scout cookie version

i made this for my husband on thanksgiving and he loved it. it was very easy to make, and he was touched that i had put the effort into making a treat just for him.

Fabulous pie!!! I adjusted the recipe a little. I used 1 box of Mori-Nu silken firm tofu (12 oz, I believe), 1 cup natural peanut butter, 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips, 1-2 Tablespoons brown rice syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 Arrowhead Mills chocolate cookie pie crust. I didn't use any soymilk. I blended the tofu up first by itself pretty well in my food processor. Then, I added the PB, vanilla, and the brown rice syrup and continued blending some more. Finally, I added the melted chocolate chips and finishe'd blending. After pouring the mixture into the pie crust, I chilled the pie for a couple hours. The texture and taste turned out superbly! I highly recommend this one!!

I thought that it was bad for u to eat tofu uncooked, u always have to cook it. In fact i am positive that it needs to be cooked. Cooking aparently kills something in the tofu that is bad for us.

Gabiimay, japanese people have been eating raw tofu everyday for hundreds of years, its even theire favourit way to eat it... Its soy that must be cooked before eating it but in tofu, soy is cooked to make soy milk so its perfectly ok.

I am never making this pie again because I ate the whole thing by myself in one day! THE WHOLE THING!!!!! It really does taste better the longer it is in the fridge.
