SARAH'S SECRET CHOCOLATE SILK PIE (EASY)



Sarah's Secret Chocolate Silk Pie (Easy) image

For many years I kept the basic ingredient of this pie a secret, and for many years people wondered what was in it. Cream? Butter? Both? Well, for many years no one knew is that the main ingredient (besides chocolate, of course) is tofu! Why tofu? Not to be healthy or because I had anything against dairy, but because it's just easy. Why didn't I tell people? Because many of my picky-eater relatives wouldn't have eaten it if they'd known it was tofu. Finally, one day, after everyone had enjoyed a piece of pie, I let the secret out... but you don't have to. Make this pie, and let everyone think you spent more time making it out of cream and butter. One note: be sure to use silken tofu, not the meatier, textured tofu. Make sure it says "silken" on the box.

Time 15m

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces silken tofu (firm or extra firm)
1 dash vanilla extract
1 prepared pie crust (graham cracker, Oreo or shortbread)

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate chips however you like to melt them. I heat them in a non-stick skillet over a low-heat burner, stirring often and keeping a close eye so to remove them when just melted.
  • Combine tofu and vanilla in a food processor. While processing, add the melted chocolate slowly. Process until well combined.
  • Spoon into the pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours until the pie has solidified. Served chilled.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pie will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help the cream whip up more quickly and easily.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
  • Chill the pie before serving. This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the pie with fresh berries or whipped cream. This will add a delicious and refreshing touch to the pie.

Conclusion:

Chocolate silk pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate silk pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
