Double Chocolate Pie

In addition to being delicious, our Double Chocolate Pie is dairy-free, with a creamy, soft texture that is ideal for people undergoing cancer treatment.

If you’ve been hesitant to try tofu this is a great place to start. High in protein, iron and calcium, tofu’s mild flavor makes a great base for many recipes that will benefit the entire family.

The chocolate chips can be any chip of your liking—milk chocolate, dark chocolate or vegan chips. You could even experiment with a mixture of different chips.

If you prefer to substitute the ⅓ cup coffee liqueur, mix together 2 teaspoons instant coffee with 4 tablespoons water and 1 to 2 teaspoons chocolate extract. You can also use unsweetened cocoa powder and sweeten the mixture to taste with sugar if you do not have chocolate extract.

Very easy and fast to make, this delicious pie can be refrigerated for several days.
