Healthy Dark Chocolate Torte (Pie) image

***Inspired by Alton Brown's Moo-less Chocolate Pie.*** Happy New Year! I am happy to present this decadent and (yes!) healthy recipe for an awesome dessert which I made for Christmas dinner 2011, not knowing what it would taste like. "Oh my!" I would never have guessed it wasn't totally sinful if I didn't already know. You rarely can go wrong w/an Alton Brown recipe, so I knew it'd be good, just not *this* good! Silken tofu: where have you been all my life?!? Note: I have made a few minor adjustments to ingredients and order of incorporation, which worked better for me, and hopefully will for you, too. Prep time includes 2 hours for chilling in the refrigerator post-assembly. (The original recipe can be found here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/alton-browns-dairy-free-chocolate-pie)

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 torte/pie slices, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli 60% cacao)
1 lb lowfat silken tofu (aka lite firm silken tofu)
1 tablespoon honey (Rare Hawaiian Organic White)
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract (Madagascar Bourbon)
1/3 cup coffee liqueur (optional) or 1/3 cup other liqueur (optional)
9 inches chocolate wafer pie crust

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.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a medium metal mixing bowl, set over the simmering water, and stir with a rubber or silicone spatula until melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Combine the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in a blender or food processor and spin until smooth (about 1 minute). Add in the vanilla extract (and optional liqueur) and pulse 20 seconds or so until incorporated.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling sets firm.
  • Serving suggestion: Top with chocolate sprinkles. Garnish with raspberry puree and fresh raspberries.
