1. Preheat the oven to 350?. Spread the slivered almonds on a baking
sheet and place in the oven. Toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until
they color lightly, shaking the pan and watching them carefully so
they don’t burn. Set aside to cool.
2. In food processor or blender on high speed, puree the tofu until
smooth. Add the brown sugar and blend until thoroughly combined.
3. Add the cocoa and vanilla and continue to blend until the mixture
is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary. Pour
the mixture into the crust and sprinkle the almond slivers evenly on
top. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24.
Graham Cracker Pie Crust:
Process the graham crackers in food processor, until finely ground.
Add the margarine an pulse until the mixture reaches the consistency
of coarse crumbs. Pat the layer into a thick layer in bottom of 9
inch pie pan.
