Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
2 packages (12.3 ounces each) silken firm tofu
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake 5-7 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, honey and extracts. Cover and process until smooth. Add melted chocolate; cover and process until blended.

Yes Cath Thong, you line the unbaked pie crust with foil and add dried beans, uncooked rice or pie weights so that when you bake it the crust doesn't shrink.Sue StetzelTaste of Home Magazine

Fill with dried beans, uncooked rice or pie weights. I'm sorry I need to clarify. You mean after the pastry is place on a pie plate, we fill the bottom of the pastry with dried beans, uncooked rice?
