Ingredients

  • Crust Ingredients:
    • 25 chocolate wafers (Nabisco brand)
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
  • Pie Ingredients:
    • 1 (16-ounce) package Azumaya Silken Tofu (drained)
    • 12 ounces good quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate cut into small pieces
    • 2 to 4 tablespoons sifted powdered sugar if desired
    • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 1 Whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping Chocolate shavings or curls

Instructions

Crust
Put chocolate wafers in a food processor and blend until fine.
Melt butter.
Mix butter and crumbs in a small bowl.
Press mixture into bottom and sides of a 9" x !/2" tart pan with a removable bottom.
Chill for 30 minutes

Pie
Microwave chocolate in microwavable bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (50%) for 1 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.

Puree tofu in food processor; add melted chocolate and powdered sugar; process until completely blended, scraping sides down. Add vanilla; blend well.

Turn mixture into crust.

Chill 1 hour or until set. Garnish with whipped cream and shavings. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, uncovered, before serving (to enhance the flavor).

Standard Mousse Notes
A standard chocolate mousse requires cooking the egg yolks and chocolate mixture, then beating the egg whites separately and folding them into the cooled mixture. This version requires a minimum of 3 hours to chill. All in all, considerably more effort than this quick tofu method.
