Donna's chocolate dream pie

This recipe is quite popular among family and friends, and has become somewhat of a signature dessert for Donna.

First, make the crust. Start with

10 New Morning Organic Honey Graham Crackers, ground (1-1/2 cups of pulverized cracker-meal)

Donna notes that this is typically one "sleeve" of crackers. Mix in

1/2 cup powdered sugar,
6 tablespoons (85 grams) melted Earth Balance,
1 teaspoon cinnamon,

and press into a pie pan with another pie pan, building up the sides (less on the bottom) beforehand.

Bake crust 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, cool afterwards (before using)

Now, make the filling... Melt

9 oz (1 package) SunSpire organic chocolate chips

over low heat (a double boiler or microwave is nice). In a separate bowl put

14 oz organic firm Nasoya tofu, drained and mashed with a fork.

Take half of the mashed tofu and add

1 tablespoon honey,
1/4 cup soy milk (sweetened or not),
1/8 cup vanilla syrup (or 1/8 cup water with vanilla extract to taste),

and put into blender. Blend for 15 seconds on high. Add remainder of tofu and all the melted chocolate to blender. Blend at least 2 minutes (longer the better, surely longer than you think, and add liquid as needed to make the blender happy) on the highest setting.

Pour mixture into pie crust, smooth with a spatula, and chill until firm.

Top with raspberries and whipped cream.

Donna notes that this recipe is quite flexible in terms of sizes and amounts of ingredients, and encourages trying other sweeteners, flavorings, etc. Brands have been noted, because this results in a vegan pie.
