When I was going to summer camp as a kid, the Seventh-Day Adventist cook, a whiz in the kitchen, made a mud pie with firm tofu in it, blended with whatever chocolate filling she used. Tofu can be plain and bland-tasting if you cut some off the slab and have a taste. But it's an amazing chameleon, taking on the flavors of what it gets cooked with. I lost the recipe for the pie, so am sorry I can't send it. But that absulutely fabulous pie is one of my favorite memories about the camp.
