The #SundaySupper gang teamed up with Chantal this week on a #BakeForACure event. Chantal sent us their Easy as Pie Dish and asked us to bake something and share it with a medical cancer treatment professional or someone who has been affected by cancer.
When I saw this Chocolate Pie recipe that won an American Heart Association Heart-Healthy Bake-Off, I knew this was the pie I wanted to make for a friend whose significant other is battling cancer.
The chocolate filling for this pie contains low-fat cream cheese and tofu, believe it or not. The whipped topping features half whipping cream and half plain nonfat Greek yogurt. You can serve the pie with any combination of the topping, raspberry coulis and fresh raspberries.
Chantal will be running an online promotion during their #BakeForACure event. To receive 20% off any Chantal pie dish, enter the code BAKE4CURE when you make a purchase in the Chantal online store. This discount will be available through October 30, 2012.
If you know someone currently being affected by cancer, get yourself a pie dish and start baking!

Chocolate Pie
Adapted from Baking for Friends by Kathleen King of Tate’s Bake Shop
CRUST
2 cups graham cracker crumbs, crushed in food processor (from about 2 sleeves of crackers)
2 tablespoons almond butter
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
FILLING
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
8 ounces silken tofu, drained
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
TOPPING
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup seedless raspberry spread (I like Polaner® All-Fruit)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
GARNISH
Raspberry Coulis (see below)
12 ounces fresh raspberries
Make the crust: Pulse graham cracker crumbs, almond butter, melted butter and maple syrup together in a food processor until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch Chantal Easy as Pie Dish. Don’t press too hard or the crust will be tough. Refrigerate.
Make the filling:
- Heat the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir, then repeat in additional 30-second intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total, depending on your microwave). Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar with a mixer until creamy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the tofu and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and mix until well-combined.
- In a medium bowl, using clean beaters, beat egg whites on high until they form stiff, but not dry, peaks. Stir about one-quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the rest.
Put the pie together: Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread filling evenly in prepared crust. Place on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the filling looks set but still has a wet area in the center, about 40 minutes. Do not overbake. Let cool completely on wire rack, the refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Make the topping: Whip the cream with a mixer on high just until it begins to thicken. Add the yogurt, raspberry spread and vanilla. Continue whipping until mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread on top of the pie. Slice and serve chilled, with raspberry coulis and fresh raspberries.

Raspberry Coulis
From Baking for Friends by Kathleen King of Tate’s Bake Shop
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
In a small saucepan, cook the raspberries, sugar and water over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the raspberries are very soft and the juices have thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
Pour into a fine wire sieve set over a bowl. Using a rubber spatula, rub the coulis through the sieve; discard the seeds in the sieve. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I never imagined finding a diabetic-friendly chocolate pie that sounded so great! A wonderful pie for a wonderful cause. Happy Sunday!
My husband loves chocolate pie. Actually his whole family loves it. I’ll have to make this one for them and keep the secret that it is heart healthy.
I’ll have to make this pie if only because it has tofu in it. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone can tell. I’m betting not hehehe
I love that you used tofu for this pie! One of my favorite pies is a chocolate pie with the silken tofu, chocolate, and honey! I love how the texture is so creamy and rich, and you’d never know that there was tofu involved!
Oh, I love the sound of this pie. Honestly, I don’t know that I’ve ever eaten a chocolate pie…like, just chocolate. I need to try this and love the use of tofu.
You amaze me! Healthy chocolate pie, I’m in!
Ohhhhh, love the raspberry! YUMMY!
Who knew – tofu! Chocolate and raspberry and healthy too!
Chocolate and raspberry! Fantastic combo, Shelby! Good luck to your friend’s partner in their personal battle!
This pie looks wonderful!!
Mmmmm…when I finish up my chocolate pie, I’ll start in on yours! Beautifully done! Happy #SundaySupper!
What a great way to turn an awesome dessert into a guilt-free treat! Love it. It’s nice baking for a cure isn’t it!
Who doesn’t like chocolate? YUM! The raspberry coulis on top sounds great as well.
You had me at chocolate…. and graham cracker. Wait tofu? I wish I thought of that. I once had a cheescake made with silken tofu. Delicious!
Oh wow! Tofu in a chocolate pie! I will have to try this out for sure. Thanks for sharing :)
Chocolate Pie! YUMMY!
Love the addition of raspberry. Tofu is such a creative addition.
LOVE using silken tofu in creamy fillings like this, and how can you go wrong with chocolate?
I love chocolate pie and now I really want to try your healthier version of it. That way, I won’t feel bad about eating an entire pie by myself (which will inevitably happen)!
What a great pie! I have used tofu for mouse and a cookie dough dip before, I am sure it is amazing here!
Is there anything better than chcolate pie? Mmmmmm! That is one of my “must makes” every holiday season :)
I know tofu would freak some people out, especially in a dessert but tofu is so versatile. It picks up the flavor of whatever it is cooking in. Thank you for the healthy recipe.
Chocolate pie! I think anyway you make it, even with tofu, everyone will love it. It’s chocolate!
Almond butter in a pie crust? Yum! I can see me garnishing with bananas instead of raspberries.
I love raspberry and chocolate together! Perfect combo! This looks amazing!
That looks delicious!
