MOO-LESS CHOCOLATE PIE
Steps:
- Place enough water in the bottom of a 4-quart saucepan to come 1 inch up the sides. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the liqueur and vanilla in a medium metal bowl set over the simmering water, stirring often with a rubber or silicone spatula. Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture and honey in a blender or food processor and spin until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling sets firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spin the cookies and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs. Then drizzle in the butter, pulsing to combine. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom, up the sides and just over the lip of a 9-inch metal pie pan.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven until crust is set and appears dry, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 1 hour.

Steps:
- Place a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the chocolate and coffee liqueur in the bowl. Stir in vanilla.
- Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in the blender jar. Liquefy until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling is set. Don't pause in this step or it might set up before you finish getting it into the pan! If it does it's okay but it makes it difficult to spread into the pan.
- Note: I have bad luck finding a good prepared chocolate wafer crust so I use a prepared graham cracker crust.
- Optional: Add a dollop of cool whip or dump the whole tub on the cake like a meringue. I think it's too rich this way, my husband loves it.

Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure the chocolate and butter are finely chopped before melting them together. This will help them melt more evenly and smoothly.
- Don't overcook the chocolate mixture. It should be melted and smooth, but not boiling.
- Chill the chocolate mixture for at least 2 hours before using it. This will help it set properly.
- Use a pre-baked pie crust for a quick and easy dessert. You can also make your own pie crust if you prefer.
- Serve the chocolate pie chilled or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for an extra special treat.
