Chocolate pie -i actually came across this pie when i failed to make homemade chocolates.When i searched for chocolate recipes ,i found this heavenly chocolate pie recipe. This caught my attention ,because its very easy and very appealing. As usual i substituted with ingredients at hand and made a wonderful dessert.
Pie is a baked Dish made of a pastry dough casing that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet and savoury ingredients.This pie don't have a pastry, instead uses crackers as the base and indian cheese,chocolate and tofu puree as the filling.
*****This is not vegan or vegeterain pie it has eggs and indian cheese.
This chocolate pie is mild sweet without any cream topping.When you eat it after a meal ,its just all you want.If you feel its less sweet you can melt some chocolate and top it.I did this later to please my daughter.
For substitution :
- I used Marie biscuit for base ,you can use graham crackers or orea instead.
- I used yogurt .you can use cream cheese in the original recipe as well .
- Use silken tofu.I used firm tofu so the pie has little texture problems.
