  6. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until edges are slightly darkened.

  7. Make the filling- Melt chocolate chips over the stove using a double boiler.

  8. Add drained tofu and melted chips and vanilla into blender and blend until smooth

  9. Pour mixture into pie pan.

  10. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set.

Tips:

  1. If you do not have a double boiler, simply take a pot of simmering water and put a metal or glass bowl over the top of the pot. Be sure the bowl fits tightly over the pot. You don’t want the steam to escape from the pot underneath. Put your chocolate chips in the bowl and use the steam from the pot underneath to melt the chocolate. This method ensures you don’t burn your chocolate.

  2. To make oat flour simply put old fashioned oats in a blender until finely ground into a flour.
