Healthy Homemade Chocolate Pie

healthy homemade chocolate pieThis is one of my own creations that I am so excited about! I am a huge fan of chocolate pie and I never would have thought that you could make a healthy and tasty version of it, but you can. You use tofu instead of egg yolks, whole wheat flour instead of white, brown sugar instead of white sugar, and low-fat milk and there you have it a healthy version of chocolate pie that is so delicious. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Ingredients:
Filling
½ cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup tofu
2 cups skim milk

Crust
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup “I can’t believe it’s not butter”

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Crust: Combine graham crackers and sugar, mix well. Melt butter and blend in with graham cracker mixture. Press into 9″ spring form pan. Press about an inch up the sides. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn. When done take out and set aside. You can use any crust of your choice for this recipe, this is just what I had on hand.
2. Filling: In saucepan combine flour, cocoa and sugar. In food processor combine tofu and 1 cup of milk. Process until smooth. Add tofu and milk mixture to sauce pan and cook over medium heat. Slowly add last cup of milk. When mixture starts to thicken, after about 5 minutes, reduce heat to low. Cook until it reaches desired consistency. Spread evenly in graham cracker crust and place in the fridge to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
