Pumpkin Chocolate Pie

Thanks to ADM for sponsoring this recipe.

Want to play a fun game with your family at the dinner table? Ask them to guess which ingredients are in this pumpkin chocolate pie. I'm sure that they will never guess that what makes it smooth and creamy is .... wait for it ... TOFU!

Yep, filled with plant-based protein and pureed pumpkin, this pumpkin chocolate pie is actually nutritious for you! Most people think that tofu is just for savory dishes, but I love using silken tofu in desserts, smoothies, baked goods, but especially in pies! (I tend to use extra firm tofu in my savory dishes.)

Tofu has a bad rep of being bland and tasteless but if you learn how to use it you will end up loving it! For savory dishes, you can marinate it for a couple of hours with your favorite sauce and spices and for sweet preparations, you won't even taste it and it will add a firmer consistency.

It not only tastes amazing but it looks beautiful! Doesn't it? You will absolutely love it and will keep on coming back to it! A plat-based dessert classic.

I've served Pumpkin Chocolate Pie countless times over years and it's always a hit. Plus, it's so easy to make!
