Summary
A chocolate lover’s delight and so easy for Easter or Mother’s Day dessert. Rich and smooth, this take on French chocolate silk pie has a secret - tofu replaces heavy cream! But no one will know the difference - unless you tell! I tried this out on my unsuspecting son who avoids tofu-anything. He sampled it, then scarfed the whole pie piece down. Hated to spoil my cover, but I did confess the covert ingredient to his astonishment. This pie will be kind on your stay-trim regime: 1/8 of the pie has 140 calories; 6g fat; 4g fiber; 18g carbs; 3g protein; 3 PointsPlus. Recipe “Chocolate Infinity Pie” from Katie Higgins cookbook Chocolate Covered Katie.
