Chocolate Raspberry Tofu Pie
A Chocolate Tofu Pie Recipe That's Rich and Creamy
This chocolate tofu pie recipe is dense and creamy, almost like a cross between a chocolate pudding pie and a chocolate cheesecake.
Even people who claim they don't like tofu will appreciate the taste of this chocolate tofu pie. That's because the tofu just adds weight and texture to the pie, but no real flavor. All of the flavor in this chocolate raspberry pie comes from the chocolate chips, chocolate Hershey kisses, the crust and the fruit on top.
If you are trying to avoid trans fats and hydrogenated oils, you can use Newman's Own chocolate cookies for the crust. They are free of all trans fats. Or simply look for chocolate graham crackers at a natural foods store, such as Whole Foods Market.
This chocolate tofu pie recipe has a lovely raspberry topping and a subtle raspberry flavor in the filling.
The raspberry flavor in the filling comes from chocolate raspberry-flavored Hershey kisses. However this flavor is only available at certain times of the year (like Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc.). If you have trouble finding these Hershey kisses, try chocolate raspberry flavored chips instead or just add a tablespoon of seedless raspberry jam to the filling.
Chocolate Raspberry Tofu Pie
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as chocolate graham cracker crumbs or chocolate wafer cookie crumbs)
- 3 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1 cup chocolate raspberry flavored Hershey kisses
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli 60% cacao chocolate chips)

- Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, Hershey kisses and dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container. Heat in the microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir, and repeat, if necessary, until the chocolate is completely melted.
