Vegetarian Chocolate Pie

Alton Brown has a recipe he calls Moo-less Chocolate Pie.

• 13 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup coffee liqueur
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pound silken tofu, drained
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 (9-inch) prepared chocolate wafer crust

The New York Times makes the same thing adding spices and calls it “Mexican.”

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon chile powder, or more to taste

I think it makes a lovely mousse, if you skip the crust.
