Great Key Lime Pie Vegan But You D Never Guess It Food

GREAT KEY LIME PIE (VEGAN, BUT YOU'D NEVER GUESS IT!)

Steps:

• Drain any excess water from the tofu.
• Blend tofu and lime juice in a processor or blender until creamy and smooth.
• Add the rest of the ingredients (except crust!), and blend again until smooth.
• At this point, I had to transfer the mixture to a bowl and beat on high speed with an electric mixer, since it was too thick and stiff for my blender.
• Pour the mixture into the crust and chill 2-3 hours or until firm.
• This sets up very firm.
• It also makes a great pudding or little tartlet filling for fancy desserts!
• Note for those who try with other pudding mixes. Make sure your mix is Vegan. Commercial mixes can contain meat by products making them not Vegan or Vegetarian.

VEGAN KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Crust.
• Preheat oven to 250Fº. Lightly grease the pie pans with vegetable oil or vegan butter. Place 3 hard packed tablespoons of the crust mixture into each pie pan. With moist fingers, gently press the pistachios to the sides and bottom of each pan, forming a crust with a consistent thickness. There should be some leftover crust mixture to help patch holes. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Cool completely before filling.
• Filling.
• Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Fill each crust with the filling (about 1/3+ cup per mini crust) and refrigerate.
• Coconut Cream Topping.
• Chill cream in the bottom of a mixing bowl, metal if possible. Beat in sugar (by hand with a whisk or with a stand mixer) and chill again. Serve cold!
• A slice of kiwi on the top is a perfect compliment to this pie, both in flavor and in color. I wish I had a little sprig of mint for a extra little visual flair, but oh well!

Steps:

• Whizz all the crust ingredients in a food processor with an S-blade. Transfer the mixture to a 23cm loose-based tart tin. Using your fist, press the mixture evenly into the base and sides of the tin.
• To prepare the filling, blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender on a high-speed setting, or pulse in a basic blender until smooth and creamy.
• Pour the filling onto the crust and shake the tin a little to even it out. Chill for a minimum of 3 hrs to set. Decorate with the lime zest and slices, if you like. Will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Defrosted in the fridge, it will keep for 1 week.
