Chocolate Dream Pie
Recipe adapted from Vegan Meals for One or Two

When I make this I prefer to use a premade pie crust, there are several that are vegan, and they are very tasty.

Pie Crust
¼ cup melted vegan margarine
1 cup vegan graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons of maple syrup

Pie Filling
1 – ¼ cups chocolate or carob chips
2 – ¼ cups silken tofu
2 Tablespoons of maple syrup

Pie Crust
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium-sized bowl, mix margarine, crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Press into a 9-inch pie tin and bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes or until golden. Place pie crust in the refrigerator and allow to chill

Pie Filling
Melt chips in a medium-sized pot; stir for smooth consistency. Set aside when melted. In a blender, combine tofu and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and blend until smooth. Add melted chips and blend until smooth. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate until firm, at least 45 minutes. Optional: Add additional chocolate chips on the top after pie has been in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes

Notes: Since I have limited pots, I melted the chips in the microwave and they turned out just fine. When I made this recipe I also didn't have a blender, so I used a wire whisk and some elbow grease, and it turned out just fine.

I found this recipe to be a huge success, so I decided to try it with limes instead of chocolate chips (to make key lime pie)... this didn't turn out so well.
