Now that Thanksgiving is past it’s time for more inspiration for the next round of gluttony!
(The black type is written by the author/baker Katie and the CHOCOLATE type is my recipe clarifications.)
Searching for a chocolate-chip replacement, I found: Whole Foods’ mini dark chocolate chunks, an 88% chocolate bar, Ghirardelli 100% chocolate discs, and a chocolate-raspberry bar. So I threw all of these into my pie. Here’s a modified recipe:
Chocolate Bar Pie
(It’s gluten-free!)
- 1 (12.3-oz) package silken or firm tofu (Fie is firmer if you use firm tofu and more like mousse pie if you use silken.)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 chocolate bars, in the flavor of your choice (3-oz bars) (or 1 and 1/3 C. chocolate chips)
- 2 – 10 chocolate bars, in the flavor of your choice (12 oz bars and/or 2 bags of chocolate chips for stamina.
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 T non dairy milk
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 2-3 T agave or other sweetener (I omitted)
Break up the chocolate bars, and melt (on the stove or in the microwave). (Then throw everything except for the chocolate bars needed for stamina) into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. (while blending, put stamina chocolate bars into your mouth processor). Pour chocolate from food processor into a pie crust, or ramekins. Chill out with more chocolate stamina candy bars until pie is chilled in the refrigerator. The pie gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits. (You, on the other hand, will not)

I just went through my entire stock of chocolate “stamina bars” reading and thinking about the recipe, but, tofu scares me, is bean curd actually food?
Rick,
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her CURDS and whey
Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
and Frightened Miss Muffet away.
How much MORE PROOF do you need?
Sigh, if only I could eat tofu and drink non-dairy milk! I can look at the picture and drool, however.
I love you too Katie!!! Oh Ms. Judy , you come up with the BEST recipes!!
Rose,
Katie came up with the recipe! I am just riding on her chocolate bars! It is a good one!
