Chocolate Mousse Pie

Oh my goodness...this chocolate mousse pie is absolutely the most fantastic dessert to ever pass my lips. It is ridiculously smooth, creamy and rich without being too sweet. Don't tell anyone that it's made with tofu until they finish eating it, they'll never believe you! You have to make this--it really couldn't be easier or more tasty.
* 1 package extra-firm silken tofu
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons high-quality vegan chocolate chips (I use Belgian dark--sooo creamy and yummy)
* Pie shell (graham cracker or cookie), optional
* toppings/garnishes: Tofu whipped cream, berries, fruit, chocolate chips or shavings, edible flowers, etc. Optional
First, put the tofu and vanilla in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Then, melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double-boiler. Add melted chocolate to the food processor with the tofu and blend until it reaches an even light-brown color. You can either pour this into a pie crust OR fill pretty little bowls or glasses with the mousse. Either way, add desired garnishes and chill until cool and set, about 20 minutes.
