Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie

Crust:

-10 graham cracker sheets
-1/4 cup Sucanat or evaporated cane juice
-1/3 cup melted buttery spread or safflower oil

Crush the grahams to make crumbs. Stir in the Sucanat and melted buttery spread.

Mix well and turn the mixture out into a 9-inch pie pan.

Press it outwards to cover the bottom and sides of the pan.

Bake the crust for 8 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool thoroughly before using.

Filling:

In a double boiler, melt:
-2 cups vegan chocolate chips

Rinse and drain:
-1 package of silken tofu

Put tofu in a mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until it is creamy and smooth. Beat in melted chocolate. Continue beating and then add:
-1/4 cup evaporated cane juice
-1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Beat until smooth.

Pour filling into pre-baked pie crust and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled and top with vegan whipped topping, if desired.
