Steps:
- Pre-bake a 9-inch pie shell. Set aside to cool.
- Thoroughly drain the tofu.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. There should be directions on the package. I melted mine for 45 seconds, then stir and continue in 15-20 second intervals until melted.
- Put tofu into food processor and pulse until creamy. Scrape down sides and add the salt and vanilla. Pulse another moment or two.
- Add the melted chocolate to the tofu and pulse until mixed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again and continue to pulse until thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Whip the cream with the 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until fairly stiff but not overmixed. Dollop the whipped cream onto the pie.
- Use a vegetable peeler to shave some dark chocolate. I used a 70% Cocoa bar. Sprinkle shavings on top of the pie.
- Store the Chocolate Tofu Pie in the refrigerator.

ALMOND BUTTER PIE WITH CHOCOLATE SALTINE TOFFEE CRUST
This is no ordinary pie crust: Inspired by the holiday classic saltine toffee candy (saltine crackers dipped in caramel and chocolate), it is crunchy, slightly coconutty, salty and sweet. The creamy no-bake almond butter filling is the ideal match.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the oil, granulated sugar, crushed saltines and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. Press into the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Chill for 15 minutes. Bake the crust until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside 2 tablespoons in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the crust with the caramel sauce, then the remaining melted chocolate. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
- Whip the cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Beat the almond butter and cream cheese in a second medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
- Pour the filling into the crust and smooth out the top, taking care not to cover the crust edge. Drizzle the reserved chocolate in a lacy pattern around the edge of the pie and decorate with the sliced almonds. Chill until set, 6 hours and up to overnight.
Tips:
- To achieve the best results, use high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao. - Make sure the tofu is extra firm and that you press out as much water as possible. - If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor. - For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate. - If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular pie plate, but you will need to trim the edges of the crust. - For a gluten-free crust, use gluten-free flour or almond flour. - To make this pie ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about an hour before slicing.Conclusion:
This chocolate almond tofu pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
