-------- ------------ --------------------------------

***FOR THE CRUST***

1 1/2 cups fruit-sweetened chocolate cookie crumbs

(about 6 to 8 cookies)

3 tablespoons soy margarine -- melted

***FOR THE FILLING***

2 cups soft silken tofu

3/4 cup sugar or a natural sweetener

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Serves 8

 

This variation of chocolate silk pie is made with silken tofu. It has all

the flavor of the original, with no cholesterol, plus the nutritional

benefits of soy protein.

 

To make the crust: Put the cookie crumbs in the bottom of a lightly oiled

9-inch pie plate. Add the melted soy margarine, and toss with a fork to

blend. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie

plate and bake for 5 minutes to set. Remove from oven and let cool.

 

In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, sweetener, cocoa powder,

and vanilla and process until smooth. Pour the filling mixture into the

crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set, before serving.
