Chocolate Silk Pie

This is a VERY rich pie so you only need the thinnest slice. It freezes well too.

Chocolate Silk Pie

20 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate
20 oz silken tofu, 1&1/2 packs (preferably soft, but firm works too)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) pie shell, baked

1. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water, stirring often (you can also just use a heavy bottom pot and use very low heat)
2. While the chocolate is melting, puree the tofu in a food processor, stopping a few times to scrape down  the sides. puree until completely smooth (if you're using firm silken tofu you might need to add a couple tablespoons of water to help smooth it out.)
3. Add the melted chocolate to the tofu in the processor and blend, then add the vanilla and pulse to blend.
4. Pour the chocolate/tofu mixture into the baked pie shell. use a spatula to fill it evenly.
5. Refrigerate the pie to set the filling for at least 1hr.
