Spectacular "Moo-less" Chocolate Pie

Another holiday recipe I discussed on the show yesterday. It's called "Moo-less Chocolate Pie" because there is no milk and it's thus vegan, made from tofu. But honestly, don't tell a soul as no one will know, and we all know how people react when they hear the "v"-word. I've made it several times and have not divulged that it's made from tofu. This pie recipe by Alton Brown creates a rich, thick and chocolatey desert and feels entirely decadent, but it's not. And it's so easy to make. You can use vegan chocolate chips, or any semi-sweet chocolate chips you can find. Also, you don't have use a chocolate wafer crust. I've done it with a graham-cracker crust and a pastry crust too, all good. Buy a pie crust in the store or make your own.

Place a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the chocolate and coffee liqueur in the bowl. Stir in vanilla.
