Chocolate Silk Pie
This recipe for Chocolate Silk Pie is pure indulgence and every chocolate lover's dream. With a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, gooey caramel sauce and luscious chocolate filling, the Chocolate Silk Pie is wonderfully sweet and decadent. If you've had silk pies before, you'll know they're made with eggs, butter and heavy cream. My recipe skips these rich ingredients and uses silken tofu which really lightens the pie and tastes amazingly silky and smooth. Shh, if you don't tell anyone there's tofu, they'll never know! :)
