- In a double boiler or the microwave, melt the chocolate chips. To microwave, simply use a microwave safe mixing or similar bowl to melts, stopping to stir every 30 seconds. Allow this to cool for while you start the next step.
- Use a blender immersion blender or food processor to blend the milk and the nut butter. Then add the melted chocolate and blend until smooth. Transfer this to the prepared crust and refrigerate for two hours before topping with the shaved chocolate.

Recipe Notes
I mentioned that you can easily make your own crust for this pie (two recipes listed). Or, you can omit the crust or use your favorite crust recipe for this pie (Mediterranean diet friendly).
I also mentioned that there is an alternative to using tofu in this recipe.
Plain unsweetened (fuller fat if possible) yogurt is a good sub in for tofu. However, you may need to make adjustments to the flavor to compensate for the tart flavor of most yogurts.
