Chocolate strawberry pie

Difficulty: 2/5

Preparation and cooking time: 2 hours

Serving: 10 slices

Ingredients:

• Pie crust
• 375 rinsed and drained tofu
• 255g unsweetened melting chocolate bar OR chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup date sugar
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 325g fresh strawberries

Instructions:

• Prepare the pie crust according to the recipe instructions. Pre-heat oven to 200°C. Bake until golden brown, or for about 30 minutes. Set aside and let cool for 30 minutes.
• Using a clean towel, pat the tofu dry as much as possible.
• In a small pot, slowly melt the chocolate on low heat. Keep stirring to avoid potential burning or sticking. Do not bring to a boil or a simmer, as it can make the fat split and churn. Set aside.
• In a blender, combine all of the ingredients except the pie crust and the chocolate. Blend until smooth.
• Add the melted chocolate to the blender. Blend until smooth and airy. If the mixture is too crumbly, add soy milk 1 tbsp at a time until the texture is light and soft.
• Using a spatula, carefully spread the chocolate filling on top of the pie. Smoothen out the mixture until evenly spread out. Let set for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, cut the strawberries in half. Place the strawberry halves in concentric circles on top of the pie. Let set for 10 minutes.

Serving:

Cut a slice of the pie. Sprinkle with sugar if you want. Add mixed berries or other fruits for added tartness.
