Vegan Key Lime Pie (But You Would Not Know It…)
- 1 box (12.3 Oz. Box) Mori-Nu Firm Silken Tofu
- 8 ounces, weight Soy Vegan Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cups Key Lime Juice
- 4 Tablespoons Grated Lime Zest
- 2 bags (4 Oz. Bag) Mori-Nu Mates Vanilla Pudding Mix (It Must Be This Brand, It's Made To Go With The Tofu)
- 1 Tablespoon Liquid Sweetener, To Taste - I Used Agave Nectar (Note: Honey Is Not Vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
- 1 whole Keebler Graham Cracker Crust (or 1 - 9 Inch Pastry Shell)...I Prefer Graham
- Notes:
- Mori-Nu can be bought at your local natural food store or on their website.
- I used Tofutti Vegan Cream Cheese (non-hydrogenated).
- I have used regular limes as well as key limes.
- Directions:
- 1. Drain any excess water from the tofu.
- 2. Blend tofu and lime juice in a food processor or blender until creamy and smooth.
- 3. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
- 4. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the crust and reserve 2 tablespoons of zest to go on top of the pie), and blend again until smooth. (Feel free to add more zest to the mixture if you like.)
- 5. Mix on high speed with an electric mixer (generally, this will become too thick and stiff for a food processor or blender).
- 5. Pour the mixture into the crust and chill for 2-3 hours or until firm. (This sets up very firm.)
- I have also considered adding coconut into the mixture and toasted coconut on top the next time I make this.
- Note: for those who try this with other pudding mixes, make sure your mix is vegan. Commercial mixes can contain meat byproducts, making them not vegan or vegetarian.
