Our chocolate caramel pie recipe doesn’t just taste amazing – it’s low in fat and calories. Registered Dietitian Liz Weiss uses an unexpected ingredient – dark chocolate silken tofu – to lighten this dessert.
RECIPE
Makes 10 Servings
Ingredients:
One package dark chocolate silken tofu (like Nasoya Silken Style Creations)
One 8-ounce package 30%-reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
One 9-inch prepared chocolate graham cracker pie crust
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325¡F.
2. To make the filling, place the tofu, cream cheese, cornstarch, and caramel sauce in a large bowl, and use a hand mixer to combine until smooth and creamy (you can also use a food processor). Scrape down the sides as necessary.
3. Pour the tofu mixture into the pie crust. Bake for 1 hour until set. Remove from oven and cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 2 hours, uncovered, until cooled completely. Slice and serve.
Tip: Serve with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce and some fresh raspberries on top.
