The crust looks awesome, I’m sure the pie will be delicous! I want to hear how it comes out. Did you ever think of using chocolate tofu?

I don’t know if you remember the rum ball incident of 2004, but I am quite familiar with the world of over-boozed desserts. Like you said, just makes the holidays more festive!!

That looks delicious. I think I would just eat the crust and be fine, but the chocolately goodness makes it even better.

Anne Marie: The original recipe called for coffee liquor so plenty of reviewers subbed plain coffee or espresso and they said it worked great. I think the alcohol taste might be a little strong for my liking, but I figure a little more booze won’t hurt anyone, it is a holiday after all!

I would love to try that recipe, but I’m not one who likes liquor…I wonder if I can omit it.

It’s not like you are trying to serve them plain tofu that you think they won’t like. You are blending into chocolate! I am a little hesitant to eat tofu, and I think blended into chocolate and amaretto would be a great way to try it for the first time.

Not crazy at all! I think it sounds great! I would give the food processor a whirl for sure… I prefer it to my blender any day.

And I love amaretto. Disoronno is like my god.

I think it’s a great way to introduce new foods to your family. Plus, it’s an Alton Brown recipe so it shouldn’t be that “weird” to them.

My fiance and I are doing a little T-giving dinner for ourselves. I sort of need to get on that menu planning thing, I guess.
