The original chocolate tofu cheesecake is on The Vegan Chef's website. This does not seem sweet enough to be honest but I never tried to make it myself. Although I never really tried to make anything Alton presents since I do not eat meat.

You get a A+ for this one, Alton! I made this for Valentine's Day. I figured that after a rich meal, we needed to go easy on the dessert. It firmed up nicely and tasted great. I will definitely make this again.

I made this and I can't believe how much I like it! I also can't believe that I got certain family members to eat tofu and they liked it too! It was so easy to make and the recipe could easily lend itself to alterations for different tastes (i.e., different types of chocolate, liqueurs, etc. The texture of the filling is wonderful, light and creamy, and the taste is so rich and flavorful. It looks and tastes very fancy. I know of other "quick" dessert recipes out there (the kind that just have you put together a couple pre-packaged ingredients and this recipe is faster, tastier, and better for you. Set aside any misgivings you have about using tofu and try this!

Believe it or not, I've found a way to make it a little better. Make your own crust (of course. The crust for the sour cream cheesecake makes a good starting point and you can use chocolate graham crackers or add 1/4 cup cocoa and increase the sugar a bit. Then sub some of the graham cracker crumbs with finely chopped pecans. Wonderful addition!

For those of you who find this too sweet, we make it in a square pan and cut it into small bars like brownies. That makes a smaller piece than a slice of pie and works better in the lunchbox.

I followed this recipe exactly. The texture was wonderful but the chocolate was a little overpowering and a tad too sweet.

My love of AB is renewed and multiplied. This recipe is soooo easy to make and tastes delicious. It was a bit too sweet for me, next time i'll probably cut out the honey and use less chocolate chips. I used half semi-sweet and half dark chocolate (ghiradelli. My husband thought it was a regular chocolate pie! He was shocked that there was no dairy in it and it was all tofu. I added some raspberries and toasted almonds on top. This is a great method to know - I am now looking forward to getting creative next time and making the tofu filling with other ingredients. Alton Brown, marry me !!!!

WOW!!!! This is a recipe worthy of 10 stars. It tastes like expensive truffles and has the texture of good mousse. I didn't tell anyone what was in it until after they all were sighing in pleasure and nobody could believe it was tofu. It's absolutely decadent. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips since it didn't specify and it has a nice dark chocolate flavor. I wanted to use my new 4 in mini-tart pans, so I just baked regular pie dough in them and filled them with the chocolate filling. Since the filling is so rich I served them with whipped cream on top. This recipe is a definite keeper and I want to experiment with using different liqueurs next time. Maybe some Irish cream or some creme de menth? Mmmmmm.....I can't wait. This is easily my new favorite dessert.

One of my all time favorite easy yet elegant desserts. Feel free to to try other things like regular graham cracker pie crust, white chocolate chips or substitue the vanilla extract for coconut or orange. Or use a different type of liqueur, Amaretto is a nice twist. For a final touch add whippped cream to the slices with shaved chocolate curls or ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top. There is no way on this planet anyone will not (unless you tell them that tofu is involved!!
