Peanut Butter PIe


Chocolate Peanutbutter Pie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 pound firm tofu
about 1/2 to 2/3 cups of melted vegan chocolate chips
1/2 to 2/3 cups peanut butter
soy milk to desired texture
your favorite pie crust, a vegan graham cracker crust is usually the best

Directions:

Serves 8.

Put to tofu in a blender with the melted chocolate chips and the peanut butter with about a 1/2 cup of soymilk to start. Blend the ingredients together until very smooth, this may take a while if your blender is not super high powered. Then the fun part comes in: taste the mixture and see what else it needs. Add more chocolate and peanut butter to your liking. It may be necessary to add a little more soy milk if you are having trouble blending the yummy mixture. Put the mixture into a baked pie crust and smooth out the pie surface. You can make fancy designs in the surface if you want. Place the pie into the refrigerator for about 1 hour until it is firm to the touch. Cut and serve to the chocolate and peanut butter fans in your life. Yum Yum!!!

So I didn't mix the tofu with the chocolate because I wanted to have a chocolate crust peanut butter center and chocolate ganache top. But the problem is that the tofu peanut butter part wasn't very sweet, but I am hoping the chocolate ganache makes up for that. Oh and as if I need to say this, the half and half isn't mine.

So I posted this right after I made it without tasting it.... turns out you need to mix the chocolate in with the peanut butter tofu mix. My pie was kinda really bad.... I should have made it the way the recipe said. Sometimes creativity doesn't pay off.
