• Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate (1-quart capacity).
• Bake for 12 minutes: cool completely.
• For filling: in a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan (make certain to use a heavy saucepan for this as it will scorch on the bottom) stir together 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg yolks.

TOFU DREAM PUDDING AND PIE FILLING

Steps:

• IMPORTANT NOTES ADDED:.
• The tofu called for here is asceptic tofu NOT waterpacked tofu. One brand is Mori-Nu. AGAIN: It will NOT work with Waterpacked [tofu packed in water] also called cotton. It will NOT work with firm waterpack tofu. The texture and the taste will change because the medium will change. An example of the correct tofu is: http://www.morinu.com/ Please feel free to visit the Vegetarian forum and ask if you aren't sure. We don't bite. Honest but we do have great ways to make stuff taste even better. I host there so you can ask anytime. As to the Almond, add a bit, taste and add more. Don't add all at once. You may need less than we use because brands vary. [Do the same with other flavorings too] Also I have added chocolate extract. It does well with that in place of the Almond.
• Simply blend your tofu, cocoa, sugar or Splenda, vanilla in a food processor or blender until smooth and well blended.
• You have pudding. Add to your favorite shell or eat as a pudding. Can be used in parfaits also. Layer pudding, fruit, pudding, fruit. garnish with fruit slices and a mint leaf or two or almond slices.
• NOTE 24.6 ounces is two standard packages for me. It does seem to "grab" the sweet of sugar to me so I use less. I also find it works very well with Splenda. Those with a sweet tooth may want to tweak that. Simply add the 1/4 and taste. Then add to your taste. Syrups such as honey, maple syrup and Kings Molasses have been used but I personally wasn't pleased with it. However tastes may vary. Also note it MUST BE FIRM SILKEN. IT CANNOT BE WATERPACKED [can be low fat, organic or regular]. Soft is for smoothies and Cotton or waterpacked is for other methods.
• I never thought to add this. Be careful what cocoa powder you use. The tofu is going to grab the taste. IF it is a chalky type you are going to have chalky tofu pudding. Nothing in the pudding mix will 'hide' that. Remember this has no milk to 'mute' the cocoa taste.

RICH CHOCOLATE PUDDING / CREAM PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 cups milk; heat until it's just about to boil.
• While the milk/sugar is heating, combine the remaining ingredients (egg yolks, sugar, 1/4 c flour, cocoa, salt, 1/4 c milk) EXCEPT for butter and vanilla in a blender or mixer on low. The goal is to mix it absolutely smoothly without lumps, not add a bunch of air to it.
• Combine the two mixes and return to the saucepan.
• Adjust the heat to medium high and bring to a boil for five minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. (NOTE: It never takes me five minutes to get to this point.).
• Remove from heat; immediately stir in 2 Tablespoons butter or margarine and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Pour into (cooked) pie crust or pudding dishes and refrigerate.
• Note: if you're using this for a pie, a beautiful meringue can easily be made with the three egg whites you'll have left over from this recipe. I'd suggest looking up #28458 and referring to those directions for how to create it -- remember to leave your crust with about ten minutes left to bake so that you don't burn it while toasting the meringue.
