Ingredients:
* ¾ to 1½ cup good quality dark chocolate (Preferably organic / fair-trade.  Tropical Source Organic Chips work wonderfully)
+
* ¾ to 1½ cup dark chocolate
* ¼ to ½ cup good quality smooth peanut butter (Preferably not anything owned by Phillip Morris as they are evil).  NOTE: I have made this pie omitting the Peanut Butter entirely, and it turned out very well.  It's better with the PB, but extremely good without.
+
* ¼ to ½ cup smooth peanut butter (optional)
* 1 package of firm silken (sometimes called “dessert”) Tofu (Mori-Nu Extra-Firm Silken is dandy and readily available in the produce section of supermarkets)
+
* 1 package of firm silken tofu (e.g. Mori-Nu Extra-Firm Silken)
* ¼ to ½ cup chocolate or plain Soy milk.  Mammal milk might work...  Never tried it...  (Silk Chocolate is perfect, extremely delicious and insanely nutritious)
+
* ¼ to ½ cup soy milk
* 1 Premade graham-cracker crust, chocolate or golden (or if you have more free time than I, you can make this from scratch)

This pie is best if left to meld overnight, but is usually firm enough to serve after about an hour.  If you use good quality chocolate, you can usually get away with less and not sacrifice any decadence.  The more chocolate you use, the firmer the pie will be...  Avoid using too much peanut butter, as it can overpower the flavour of the pie.  Some peanut butters impart a slightly gritty texture.

Assuming you use Soy milk and good dark chocolate this pie is totally Vegan, cholesterol-free, loaded with calcium, isoflavones, and protein, and is much lower in fat than you would expect (there is more fat in the margarine used to bind the crust than in the entire filling).  Oh, and it's mighty darn tasty... It is always fun to bring to gatherings just to watch unenlightened people's faces curl up when they hear the “T” word...

This pie is best left to set overnight, but is usually firm enough to serve after about an hour. If you use good quality chocolate, you can usually get away with less and not sacrifice any decadence. The more chocolate you use, the firmer the pie will be. Avoid using too much peanut butter, as it can overpower the flavour of the pie. Some peanut butters impart a slightly gritty texture.

If you use soy milk and good dark chocolate, this pie is totally vegan, cholesterol-free, loaded with calcium, isoflavones, and protein. It is also much lower in fat than you would expect. Oh, and it's mighty darn tasty! It is always fun to bring to gatherings just to watch unenlightened people's faces curl up when they hear the "T" word.
