Creamy Chocolate Tofu Pie

Are there any foods out there that kinda make you cringe when it's used in an unexpected way? For me, it's tofu. I use it occasionally, mostly in savory applications. I've had tofu in sweet recipes only a few times, though never made a sweet recipe using it. Well that all changed when my friend Colin made a Creamy Chocolate Tofu Pie...

Colin is a friend of mine who raved about the following dessert and I was anxious to try it out. He finally had a chance to make it and brought it over the other night - it was delicious! The tofu really lends itself to the creamy texture and with only 4 ingredients, it's a breeze to make. If you're looking for a sweet dessert that's practically guilt-free, this is one to try!

In a food processor chop the two packages of tofu until almost smooth. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla and blend until smooth.
