Chocolate Dream Pie

A vegan recipe I have been making for over 20 years . . .

I figured today would be a great day to share this chocolate dream pie with you all. I’m celebrating re-entering the in-person workforce tomorrow, which calls for pie! I started making this pie in college. A vegetarian cafe near Cornell University (ABC Cafe) had a silken tofu pie on its menu that I would get every time I ate there (and I probably was paying off those frequent meals well into my 30s with my student loans…).

Exactly how I make this dessert has changed over the years. I used to do a graham cracker crust, just like the original. I used to use melted chocolate chips to make it extra rich. No peanut butter. What I’m saying is that this recipe can grow with your tastes and change with what you have on hand.

What stays the same is that you can bring it all together in less than 10 minutes and, after an hour-long chill, it’s ready to eat! (Sooner if you don’t care about carving out a perfect wedge…)

(Thank you all for your patience with me in the last week as I have been getting together everything for my job. There were many things taking me away from writing here, but I am hoping to get back to my usual 2-3 posts a week.)
