Chocolate Tofu Almond Pie

You can make this scrumptious pie in minutes - and that's about as long as it will last when you serve it. This dessert, which is like a firm, dark chocolate pudding in a graham-cracker crust, is guaranteed to become a familiar favorite.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup almonds, slivered
• 1 pounds organic tofu firm
• 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spread the slivered almonds on a baking sheet and place in the oven; toast for 5-10 minutes until they color lightly, shaking the pan and watching carefully so that they don't burn. Set aside to cool.
3. In a food processor or blender on high speed, puree the tofu until smooth.
4. Add the brown sugar and blend until thoroughly combined.
5. Add the cocoa and vanilla and continue to blend until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
6. Pour the mixture into the crust.
7. Sprinkle the almond slivers evenly on top.
8. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24.
