Chocolate Cookery


Vegan Chocolate Pie Serve this with fresh raspberries and enjoy a little romance.


Yields 8 servings


Chocolate Wafer Crust 6 ½ oz dairy-free chocolate wafer cookies, crushed into fine crumbs 1 Tbsp maple or date sugar 3 oz vegan buttery stick (such as Earth Balance), melted and slightly cooled


Chocolate Filling 13 oz dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli) cup strong brewed coffee


1/3


1 tsp vanilla extract 1 lb silken tofu, drained 1 Tbsp honey


1 (9-in) prepared chocolate wafer crust Preheat the oven to 350° F.


For the crust, combine the cookie crumbs, sugar and melted vegan but- tery stick. 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 the crust is set and appears dry, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely, about 1 hour. For the filling, melt the chocolate


chips with the coffee and vanilla in a medium metal bowl set over a sauce- pan of simmering water, stirring often with a spatula. Combine the tofu, melted chocolate mixture and honey in a blender or food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the fill- ing into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours or until the filling becomes firm.
