Chocolate Mousse Pie

By: Steve B.

Description:
Time:	4 hr (10 min to prepare, 3 hr 50 min to cook)
Meal type:	Dessert
Ethnicity:
Number of Servings:	4
Ingredients:
10.5 OZ Packages of Mori-Nu 0.5 stick Melted Margarine 1 package of Crush Hydrox Cookies 12 OZ Package of Non-Dairy Choc Chips
Directions:
Crush 1 package of Hydrox cookies and mix the crumbs (reserve some for garnish) with about 1/2 stick melted margarine (vegan). Press the mix into the bottom and part way up the sides of a large 12" springform pan. Set into freezer while you make the filling. (If you don't chill crust it will crumble later.) Blend (in batches) 5 10.5oz packages of Mori-Nu* tofu til smooth. Melt 1 12 oz package of non-dairy choc chips over hot water in double boiler (classic no-fail method) or in the microwave very carefully on low power stirring every couple of minutes (brash modern method...the chocolate can scorch very easily if you set the power too high or don't stir often enough. Scorched chocolate tastes and smells awful!!). Mix melted chocolate with blended tofu either in batched in the blender or with a spoon in a large bowl. Add a tablespoon or so of Kahlua coffee liqueur if you like, or some vanilla extract, or some creme de menthe if you want a choc-mint pie. Pour filling into crust and let sit in fridge 3 or 4 hours. Garnish with some reserved cookie crumbs and/or an edible flower. A big purple pansy and a couple of mint leaves look fabulous against the chocolate.
Notes:
Too short a chilling time will result in a runny pie. I haven't made this with the 12.3 oz MoriNu packages, but the filling is pretty forgiving, so probably 4 of those would do, even if the math isn't exact. If you have a smaller pan or a small number of guests, just subtract a package or two or the tofu and some of the chips. I have never added sweetner to this, but you might want to add some maple syrup or raw sugar while blending. I like my chocolate dark and I've never heard any complaints about it not being sweet enough. Mostly I hear pleased-sounding comments that "it's not too sweet". Use a blender, not a food processor. The blender makes the tofu much creamier. The food processor invariably leaves the texture a little grainy or lumpy." title="I have tried other "fresh" silken tofus and they all tasted beany.
