Pie Ingredients
Graham cracker crumbs (or GF alternative) | 1/2 cup | |
Tahini (or other fat) | 2 tsp or as needed | |
Honey | 1/2 cup | |
Warm water | 1/2 cup | |
Canola oil (or your preferred oil) | 1/4 cup | |
Tahini | 2 Tbsp | |
Coffee substitute | 1 Tbsp | |
Firm tofu, cut into chunks | 1 lb | |
Chocolate Glaze (see recipe) | 1/4 cup |
Glaze Ingredients
Unsweetened baking chocolate | 1 square | |
Honey | 2 Tbsp | |
Vanilla | 1/2 tsp |
Directions
- Start with the glaze which makes 1/4 cup (enough to glaze one pie).
- In a heavy pot, slowly melt the chocolate. Stir in honey and vanilla.
- Set aside in refrigerator.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F.
- Lightly oil a 9″ pie pan.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with enough tahini so it holds together and can be pressed into the pie pan to form a crust. Set aside.
- In a food processor, blend the honey, water, oil and 2 Tbsp tahini. Blend in coffee substitute.
- Add tofu chunks, one at a time. Mix until creamy.
- Pour half the tofu mixture into the pie pan. Drizzle chocolate glaze over it. Cover with the rest of the tofu.
- Gently insert a knife into the pie & pull up the chocolate, making swirling designs.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Helpful Hints
- A graham cracker crust usually calls for butter which you can use instead of the tahini. Coconut oil is a plant-based option that would also work. Use enough to get the crumbs to hold together and form a crust.
- To reduce the sugar content of this recipe you could replace half the honey with stevia in the creamy filling.
- For a gluten-free crust try ground up corn flakes in place of the graham cracker crumbs.
