Chocolate Pie

Easy to make, scrumptious to eat - and oh yes, lighter on dairy than the average pie! If you're weird about tofu...don't be.

Chocolate Pie

1 c milk chocolate chips
1 c semi sweet chocolate chips
1/3 c amaretto liqueur (or coffee liqueur if that's your thing)
1 block silken tofu
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs honey
1 graham cracker crust

1) Using a double boiler (or by placing a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water) melt the chocolate and liqueur.

2) Combine tofu, melted chocolate mixture and honey in the blender and blend til smooth.

3) Pour blender contents into the crust and chill in the fridge for a few hours (filling will set).

Dairy-Free Ice Cream - With One Ingredient

I'm not even messing with you. There is, of course, one catch: it's best if you're not allergic to bananas.

"Ice Cream"

Ingredients:
bananas

1) Peel your overripe bananas, break each into a few pieces. Pop in a ziplock, and freeze.

2) Puree frozen bananas in food processor (or blender, but I haven't tried that) for a few minutes - until it resembles soft serve.

If one ingredient is just too mind-blowingly simple for you, you could always get crazy and add things like peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey/agave...
