Moo-Less Chocolate Pie

From Alton Brown via foodnetwork.com



Ingredients:
chocolate chips
coffee liqueur (Left out)
vanilla
silken tofu
honey
chocolate wafer crust

Comments:
I was interested in this recipe because it's pretty much a chocolate mousse pie made with tofu, thereby eliminating any dairy side effects. It took some effort to find the tofu. But we did it. It also took some effort to make the pie filling. We didn't have any coffee liqueur and I debated subbing some Godiva for it but ultimately just left it out. The vanilla made the chocolate seize up almost instantly and the tofu/chocolate mixture was too think for the blender. We had to thin it out a bit with some water to avoid burning up the blender's motor. It set up fine and tastes good. I might go with milk chocolate rather than semi-sweet chips if I attempt this again. It's very rich and it's almost required that it's cut with some whipped cream to eat. Heh.
