Chocolate Mousse Pie


One word, YUM! This dessert has a simple recipe, but is still packed full of flavors. I found the recipe for just the chocolate mousse in a vegetarian/vegan magazine and added some ingredients to make it more flavorful. The idea to make it into a pie just flowed together and it turned out to be a great dessert.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup melted chocolate (look at ingredients label to avoid milk in chocolate)
  • 1 package silken tofu
  • 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
  • 2 packets stevia (That wonderful no-calorie all natural sweetner!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • small handfull chocolate chips for topping
  • shredded coconut for topping
Preperation
Blend the tofu until smooth in a blender or magic bullet.
Add the melted chocolate, stevia, and cinnamon to blender and mix until smooth creamy texture is made. Pour the mousse into the pie crust.
Decorate with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or any other toppings that you enjoy!
The only hard part of this recipe is the wait. The next step for this pie is letting it sit in the freezer overnight.
Take the pie out of the freezer and let it sit in refridgerator for at least 4 hours.

So even though you may be dying to dig right in, I promise you the texture it forms from sitting in the freezer is great. It also develops most of its flavors while it freezes. If you know you are having company a few nights in advance, make this pie beforehand and it will be ready to enjoy when you need it.
I hope this chocolate mousse pie delights your senses :)
