Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Tofu
Forms the smooth, creamy body of the filling once blended.
Semi-sweet chocolate or carob chips
Provides the chocolate flavor and sweetness of the filling.
Graham crackers
Form the crumb base that holds the pie crust together.
Margarine
Adds fat that binds the graham cracker crumbs into a firm crust.
Honey
Adds sweetness and moisture to the filling.

The step that matters

Bake until the filling is firm. Tofu-based fillings set as they cool, so underbaking leaves a runny center while overbaking can cause cracking and a dry texture. Look for a firm filling and a golden crust.
