Chocolate Silk Pie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    12 ounces very good quality vegan chocolate
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 9 pie crust, baked

Directions:

Bake pie crust according to package directions.  Melt chocolate in microwave or double boiler, and let cool until its warm, not hot.  While chocolate is melting, put the tofu into a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.  Add the chocolate and blend again until smooth.  Add the vanilla and blend.

Pour into pie crust and refigerate for 1 hour, and serve at room temperature.

This is SO good, perfectly smooth and creamy... I about passed out from the first bite 2Funny  I will be making this for the whole family!

OMG! This is amazing! It tastes just like chocolate mousse! I used the Keebler readymade 10 graham cracker crust, which is vegan. I put a layer of the chocolate filling, then a layer of vegan whipped topping (I used Hip Whip and LOVED it though some people don't like it), and then topped it with the rest of the chocolate filling.  I served it at a party where I was the only vegan, and people kept saying you can't eat this! Youre vegan! and refused to believe me when I said the pie was vegan too!

This is very very good!  I like to not tell people there is tofu in it until they have eaten some.  Then they are suprised and astounded!

I'm having fun with all the variations on this one: black bottom with pecans, sprinkle coconut on top, add peanutbutter, add bananans, add raspberries... and I had fun bringing this to work, too. No one could believe this is made with tofu! Everyone loved it!

What kind of chocolate do you use?

This is awesome and pretty easy to make. I found it waaay too chocolatey though (I find a lot of recipes too chocolatey so if you like chocolate you'll love this) I used tropical source chocolate chips.

I use Sams Choice (WalMart brand) chocolate chips - they're the only vegan chocolate chips here in my neck of the woods!

Good but much too chocolatey for my taste.  I used only 8oz of unsweetened baking chocolate and sweetened with maple syrup.

This has to be the easiest and most delicious recipe I have ever made.  I have been vegan for 3 years, and I was laughing so hard when I tasted this pie.  It was perfect.

I love chocolate, I eat a square of black chocolate a day.  But somehow, I was a little disappointed with this recipe.  I thought the texture would be like a mousse but it wasn't. It was dense.  And the taste was like eating a fusion of chocolate chips.  Too much, too much.  Sorry.

I must say howe'ver, that my boyfriend can't get enough of it!

I used silken tofu and vegan milk chocolate chips, and it was quite disappointing. It had a very grainy consistency, like improperly tempered chocolate, and even after a minute of blending the tofu still made little beads in the finishe'd product. Good taste, just disappointing texture and appearence.

This is yum-acious!

About how much carob would you use instead of chocolate? I have this weird reaction to cocoa beans...can't use them. Would a 1/2 cup be sufficient, ythink?

I layered the choc silk with sliced strawberries and topped of the pie with hip whip for an excellent strawberry chocolate silk pie

Use the same quantity of carob.  Good baking carob is near impossible to find, so if you can get Tufinit (available on line), an Israel brand, go for it.  Their non-dairy bars are exquisite.  They also make a spread that's like nutella that I melt and put over ice cream, where it hardens like Magic shell!  Otherwise, I use Sunspire vegan grain-sweetened chips.

Wow - absolutely divine. Everyone in my family, including a non-vegetarian, loved this pie. I think it lasted three whole days. Maybe.

This wasn't really a problem - delicious anyway! - but for some reason it turned out more like a fudge in a crust than an actual pie. Probably because I couldn't find soft silken tofu, so I just used regular. Oh well, I guess I have to make it again to find out!  Wink

Anyway, very comforting to a newly ovo-vegetarian that she doesn't have to give up making chocolate pies. Grin

I've been experimenting with the best types of tofu for this pie. Without a doubt, the best is light not-firm silken tofu. It was so smooth in the blender it looked like milk, and it has made a deeeeeelicious pie.  Cheesy

I loved this idea, and I definitely loved the end product. I made it for a family cookout, and when I said that the "chocolate cream pie" was made of tofu, everyone looked at their plates for some rational explanation. They are all traditional Portuguese cooks, and "non-dairy" isn't in their vocabulary. They devoured it anyway.

Instead of vanilla extract, I used 3/4 cup of Oregon (Vegan) Chai Mix. Worked great as a sweetener, but if you want a strong chai flavor, you'd have to add more than I did.
