Ingredients
Method
- Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a blender or food processor, combine:
- Silken tofu
- Peanut butter
- Melted chocolate
- Cocoa powder
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla
- Sea salt
- Blend for 2–3 minutes until completely smooth, creamy, and silky. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice to ensure everything is well blended.
- Step 3: Fill the Crust
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Step 4: Chill
- Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the filling is firm and sliceable.
- Step 5: Decorate
- Just before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate curls, chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Gal Pal Tips
- Use silken tofu. It creates the smooth, mousse-like texture. Firm or extra-firm tofu won't work in this recipe.
- Choose good-quality dark chocolate (60–70% cacao) for the richest flavor.
- Blend thoroughly. The filling should be silky smooth with no visible pieces of tofu.
- For picture-perfect slices, chill the pie overnight and wipe your knife clean between each cut.
