Alton Brown Just Shared His Favorite Brain-Healthy Recipe
First, the chocolate wafer crust for the pie has only three ingredients: 6.5 ounces of chocolate wafer cookies, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 3 ounces of unsalted butter. Vegan options for these ingredients can be easily subbed in, and a store-bought crust will work just fine if you don’t have any dietary restrictions. The pie filling itself has just five ingredients, making this recipe notably simple to make. With 13 ounces of vegan semisweet chocolate chips, ⅓ cup of coffee liqueur, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of honey (That Vegan Chef switches out the honey for agave syrup to make it vegan), this recipe doesn’t feel like anything peculiar until the final ingredient is revealed: 1 pound of silken tofu.
“[It’s] absurdly light and creamy, a perfect balance of sweet and bitterness, and it literally dissolves as soon as it hits your tongue,” the TikTok creator said.
Tofuis a nutritious ingredient with a subtle flavor that’s packed with plant-based protein. So with8 grams of proteinper slice, Brown’s pie is a satisfying dessert choice.
And the tofu is definitely the cause of the incredibly creamy texture in this pie. That’s why we love our own highly ratedChocolate Raspberry Tofu Pieso much. It’s smooth, fruity and, according to the five-star reviews, it’s “simply delicious” and you “definitely cannot tell this is made with tofu.” Try it for yourself and thank us later!
