freezing tofu pies?

I want to make several chocolate tofu pies and freeze them. Does anyone have experience with this or know of some reason why it wouldn't work? I think it will, but I don't want to waste ingredients if someone here knows better. . .

I'm not sure but I wouldn't think that it would work. Tofu totally changes texture when it is frozen. I'm not sure if it is purred w/ other ingredients if it would fare better or not. but I would bet that it will seperate out.

I was thinking the same thing, because I am well aware of the texture changes tofu experiences when freezing...but silken tofu blended in my vitamix with the chocolate, I thought it might work. Maybe I'll try freezing a small portion of just the filling. Thanks for your thoughts :)

Oh, and I've made these before:

and they were ok, texture-wise anyway. I don't see what would be different between this and a frozen pie. Sorry about all these posts--I'm sort of thinking "out loud."

yes I've made a tofu chocolate pie from this site and it was fine several times. Of course I thawed it in the fridge for a couple of hours so it wasnt a frozen blob before serving. Actually I never thought of not freezing it.
It was tofu blended with melted chocolate chips and some maple syrup .
I make tofu pumpkin pie (w/ silken) and i would think that freezing that one would be okay (though not ideal) after it's baked.
does the chocolate pie get baked?
P.S. All of my vegweb posts are thinking outloud posts! :D
