Chocolate Peanut Butter Silk Pie (No Bake!)

This is a Reece's pie using tofu! You can NOT taste the tofu - it mixes in well with this pie. My family all liked it (Doug, Ben, and my parents.)

Ingredients:

• 1 container tofu, silken or firm (approx 12 oz)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips 
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (not natural - you need the sugar!)
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 pre-made pie crust (such as graham cracker or chocolate cookie crust pie)

or make a chocolate date pie crust:

• 3 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
• 3/4 cup walnuts (or pecans)
• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (or sweetened coconuts, or more walnuts)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• scant 3/4 cup pitted dates (12 or so small dates)

Instructions:

1. Make pie crust if needed. Whir together in a food processor all the pie crust ingredients. Press into a pie dish to cover bottom and up the sides 1.5 inches or so.
2. Melt the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently to ensure the chocolate doesn't burn. You can use a double boiler if you have one, or your microwave.
3. Once the chocolate is melted, let cool a bit.
4. Whir together the peanut butter, tofu, and milk in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
5. Whir in the melted chocolate.
6. If needed, add a bit more milk to make creamy. 
7. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour. 
8. Top with additional shaved chocolate chips.

Carole's Notes:

Don't use natural peanut butter - this recipe relies on standard peanut butter (Jif or equivalent..) for sweetness.
I've also made this with 6 ounces of cream cheese when we were low on tofu.
