my first adventure w/vegan dessert - easy recipe Hi Denise

[Guest guest]

I saw this posted in a magazine by Nori Tofu and was anxious to try it.

I saw one for the pie and one they posted for the brownie. Sounds great I will

try it soon....Donna

Well, last night I made a dairy free chocolate cream pie. I've never

ventured into the silky tofus before and I'm really impressed! I

found the recipe from a Mori-Nu advertisement. Maybe now this will

get me to try other desserts or smoothies. The only thing I did wrong

was forget the vanilla, but it still tastes great, just not sweet.

Really it tastes just like semi-sweet chocolate, which I love!

 

Here's the recipe:

 

12 oz semi-sweet dark chocolate chips (I used Nestle brand)

1 tsp vanilla

2 pks Mori-Nu Silken Lite Extra Firm (I used on Lite Firm and one

Regular Extra Firm)

9-inch pie crust, if desired (I used a graham cracker crust)

 

Melt chocolate in microwave over with 2 tablespoons of water.

Thoroughly blend tofu in a blender or food processor. Add melted

chocolate and vanilla to the tofu and blend at high speed for 2

minutes. Pour mixture into pie crust or pudding cups. Refrigerate 1-2

hours. Garnish as desired, such as raspberries.

Mine might have a bit more fat and calories since I used one regular

instead of two lites. There is a small increase in fat and calories.

 

Now I'll need to browse the dessert recipe files!
