I swam again today and while it was very hard (probably from lack of sleep), it was very enjoyable. I did my 500 meters in 26 minutes today so I must have spent less time catching my breath! I did my stretching too. I’m 8 for 9 days in the August Fitness Challenge.
Now I’m wishing I had some of this pie to enjoy. It’s a pretty healthy pie, as far as pies go, and even my meat-eating friends like it.
Chocolate Tofu Pie
tweaked from the Cancer Survivor’s Cookbook
Ingredients
- 1 package silken tofu
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi sweet if you like that sort of thing)
- 1/2 cup vanilla non-dairy milk (or add a little vanilla extract if you use plain non-dairy milk)
- 1 ready made graham cracker crust
- strawberries and whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
1. Mix tofu in food processor or blender until smooth.
2. Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave.
3. Add melted chocolate to tofu mix and blend until well combined.
4. Add remaining ingredients. You could add some sweetener if you like, but I don’t.
5. Pour into crust and chill a couple hours or longer, until firm.
6. Garnish with berries and whipped cream. I think these two are essential to counteract the strong chocolate flavor if using dark chocolate.
*Note to self: take a picture of the first piece, not the last piece, in case the crust breaks… Although it’s still delicious!
The cookbook lists this as about 125 calories per piece and 6 grams of protein. Not bad for dessert
