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!
