I'm confused - There seems to be silken tofu and firm tofu, but no silken firm tofu. Can you help me out?
I forgot to check the weight of the package of tofu I used the last time I made this--which explained why it did not "set" properly after several hours in the fridge. (Still excellent, though!) The package was 16 oz., not 12. Rather than try to measure out 12 oz from a package I will increase the chocolate chips to a full package (2 cups) next time!
Also, I prefer to use salty pretzels, not chocolate-covered ones, as salt & chocolate "marry" so well. And be sure to add the crushed pretzels just before serving or they get soft from the moisture in the pie.
Finally, to save at least a few calories, I usually make this as a pudding, omitting the crust. Still excellent, and I like that I am at least giving the grandkids some good nutrition along with all those calories.
Delicious! I had it without the pretzels since I couldn't find any vegan ones, but still great. I used low-fat silken tofu--I haven't a clue what "silken firm" is supposed to be. I also used low-sugar syrup. Would this work with natural peanut butter?
The filling is soooo good. I have used it for frosting or layered in glasses with bananas, crushed cookies, chocolate sauce, and topped with soy whipped cream. People are always impressed and NO one believes it is vegan!
I'm from Singapore and first time cook after home economic studies since school. Would appreciate if someone could let me know "1/2 cup or 1 cup" would be equivalent to how many oz.
1/2 cup is 4 oz, and 1 cup is 8 oz.
The tofu confusion is common! Silken tofu is the kind sold in the aseptic packages - the kind that doesn't need to be refrigerated and is often on the shelves with dry goods. It's called Japanese tofu and is used more often for desserts and smoothies. The water-packed kind, which is more often used for stir-fries and scrambles, is Chinese. As far as the peanut butter goes, I've used both natural and "sugar-saturated" Jiff-stuff with pretty similar results. I actually love this recipe, and my omni friends and family "can't believe it's tofu!"
Hi Joan, I know this is a little late, but 1/2 cup = 4 liquid ounces, 1 cup = 8.
