| Last week, my wonderful co-worker, Sarah, shared a recipe for the holidays that was specifically not pie. And (as a pie lover) I took that personally. While this is not a diss on cookies — the recipe looked delicious — I’m here to defend the superior holiday dessert. If you’re team pie like me, consider this week’s recipe for your Thanksgiving dinner. |

| Chocolate silk pie |
| There are seemingly infinite varieties of pie: apple, pumpkin, cherry, blueberry, you name it. But the best kind is definitely chocolate. This recipe puts a healthier spin on the classic chocolate pie recipe. It includes your standard baked good ingredients, such as cocoa powder, dates, and pecans. But it also calls for an ingredient that’s a little less standard in the dessert world: tofu. |
| Tofu is a block of condensed soy milk. It’s a complete protein, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids. Eating it regularly may also offer some health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. |
| While tofu is more commonly used in savory recipes, I urge you to give it a try! It lends this pie its silky texture. And, it makes for a cool conversation starter: imagine telling your guests what the secret ingredient in your dessert is! |
