Yes, you read correctly, the title does include "Tofu". I had never used tofu in anything before, especially not in a pie. But, Megan made this pie and begged us not to be scared. Honestly, I was scared, I kept thinking, who in their right mind would do this? I didn't even know what part of the grocery store you would find this stuff, curiosity got the best of me! Needless to say, this pie was really, really good and you wouldn't know that it was made with tofu, if you weren't told. I made this for our small group that we meet with every week and didn't tell them until after they ate a piece what the secret ingredient was. They didn't even know it, well, Mary Jo did...only because she used to sneak tofu into her kids food! Ha!So, I would say if you are wanting to be healthy, and just need that piece of chocolate pie..make this one. You really won't be disappointed!

1 prepared chocolate wafer crust
Place a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the chocolate and coffee liqueur in the bowl. Stir in vanilla.Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in the blender jar. Liquefy until smooth.
Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling is set.

I'd love to make it for Ben! It looks great!
It looks wonderful and now you have me curious and plotting on slipping this in om my not so innocent family members.
In what part of the store did you find the tofu?
I told you not to be scared! Wasn't it delicious? I'm glad you made it and liked it!!! BTW- the whole family loved the wheat bread! You gotta try it. Thanks for the recipe. :)
I recently had chocolate cake that was made with tofu and you are right - you would never know it has tofu in it. The cake was delicious. I would love to try yours!!
Totally saw this oveer at Megan's but haven't made it yet, can't wait to try it!!
Oh wow, that looks great! I would have never guessed tofu either. :)
I have been meaning to try that recipe but haven't quite gotten around to it. You just gave me motivation to do it.
i am very intrigued... now just to find that section of the grocery store LOL
Hhmmm... I love tofu. But I have never tried it on a chocolate pie. It doesn't look weird at all to me. In fact, I think I just drooled over that photo, haha! :D
WOW (impressed look). Your tofu dessert looks so yummy.
Here I bought a sauce pack for Sauce for Mapo Tofu so as to skip all the seasonings! and i will try this friday after work.
