Answers:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Tofu Pie
1/4 cup butter, melted
10 oz. pretzels
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
12 oz. extra firm light silken tofu
1/3 cup maple syrup
chopped pretzels for garnish
Preheat oven to 350. Crush pretzels and sugar in a food processor or blender until mixture becomes very fine crumbs. With a fork, stir in melted butter until crumbs are moistened. Press into bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Microwave dark chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave safe container for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat in 30-second increments until chips are completely melted. Process tofu and maple syrup in a food processor until smooth. Add chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Process again until smooth. Pour into prepared crust. Refrigerate 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped pretzels if desired.
