Hello beautiful people! I was going to wait a bit before I posted this, however, I was feeling down in the dumps and did not want to stare at my endless lecture notes any longer... Yay Finals week.
So instead of studying yesterday, I made a chocolate fudge pie with it's main ingredient being TOFU!
Whatttttttt? Yes, Tofu! And you know what it tastes great!
Recipes by Oh she Glows and Chocolate Covered Katie
Crust: for 1 9-inch
3/4 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
3 tbsp Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
1/2 cup Oat Flour
1 cup Rolled Oats
*Tip: Read the instructions before you go ahead and begin mixing everything together...... =)
Filling:
12.3oz Firm Tofu (I may try medium firm next time so it's more mousse like)
1 1/2 tsp Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tbsp Almond Milk
Pinch of salt
1 and 1/3 cup of Chocolate Chips
1/3 cup Coconut Flakes**
1 tsp Coconut Extract**
**I wanted some coconut flavour. Definitely need to increase both amounts next time.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lighty grease your 9 -inch pie dish with coconut oil. Put the almonds into the food processor and grind until a flour forms. Ad the coconut oil, maple syrup,salt, and oat FLOUR and grind until a dough forms. Pulse in the Rolled oats so there's still texture to the crust.
The dough should be sticky. Put the dough evenly over the base of the pie dish. Beginning at the center, press the dough firmly into the dish, slowly moving outward and upward. Push hard enough that it will stick together. Poke holes with a fork so that air can escape when you bake this.
Bake for 10-13 minutes, until golden brown and you smell them almonds. Cool for 20 minutes.
That block...
Melt the chocolate with a double boiler or microwave.
Till it's silky smooth.
Put everything except the coconut flakes into the food processor and bend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and fold in the coconut flakes.
Put the mixture into the pie crust and chill in the refrigerator!
Delicious! You won't even know there's tofu in it.
Garnish with fruits, yogurt, peanut butter or red bean! The possibilities are endless!
For those who are feeling down at the moment, smile! Keep it positive and do not fret over trivial things... which is what I will try to do.
Enjoy!
