KILLER
CHOCOLATE DEATH PIE
(that's actually
good for you!)
based
on an Original Recipe, "Moo-less Chocolate Pie",
by
Alton Brown, host of "Good Eats" on the Food
Network
- www.foodtv.com
HARDWARE:
Metal
bowl, and pot of water for a double boiler thingy,
or
microwaveable
bowl
(for
melting chocolate)
Spoon
( any spoon will do )
Really
good blender (don't use a crappy blender)
Pie
tin (with pie crust in it)
SOFTWARE:
2
cups chocolate (chips or pieces, just
make
sure they melt),
(I
use 4oz semi-sweet and 12oz bittersweet
chocolate)
1/3
cup coffee liqueur (kahlua)
1
block silken tofu
1
teaspoon vanilla extract
1
tablespoon honey
1
prepared chocolate wafer crust
(I
recommend using a graham cracker crust instead )
home-made
is best, but store-bought is fine
(there's
lots of recipes for pie crusts at FoodTV.com)
HOW TO MAKE A CHOCOLATE
DEATH PIE:
Place
a small metal bowl over a saucepan
with
simmering water. Melt the chocolate
and
coffee liqueur in the bowl.
You
can also melt the chocolate in the microwave on low power.
Stir
in vanilla.
Combine
the tofu, chocolate mixture, and honey in the blender jar.
Liquefy
until smooth. (this may be really thick)
ED'S ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
ALSO
ADD TO THE BLENDER:
1/4
to 1/2 cup "Silk" brand plain soy milk (the red carton)
not
all brands of soy milk are the same
you
can also use water (enough to thin the mix)
Protein
Powder,about 80-100 grams (11 to 14 blocks)
enough
to make it "zone friendly"
(for
more info on "The 40-30-30 Zone" read "Enter The Zone"

Pour
the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours,
or
until the filling is set.
