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

Great Key Lime Pie (Vegan, but You'd Never Guess It!) image

This pie is so rich and decadent it almost tastes more like a key lime cheesecake! I made it for a Caribbean-themed party without telling what was in it and everyone raved about it! I'm not even a vegan and I plan on making this one frequently. I got the recipe from VegWeb.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (12 1/3 ounce) package mori-nu firm silken tofu (I use lite)
8 ounces soy cream cheese
1/2 cup key lime juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime rind
2 (4 ounce) packages mori-nu mates vanilla pudding mix (must be this brand, it's made to go with the tofu)
1 tablespoon liquid sweetener, to taste (I use honey but that's not vegan!)
1 (9 inch) baked pastry shells (I prefer graham) or 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust (I prefer graham)

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

Vegan Key Lime Pie image

This is a recipe I've fine-tuned to my vegan mother's taste, which is quite the challenge considering her strict diet. So far, no one has noticed the avocados until I tell them, and the looks on their faces are priceless. It's entirely guilt-free, and an easy way to trick your carnivorous friends and family into eating healthy! Garnish pie with shredded coconut, if desired.

Tips:

Make sure to use ripe key limes. This will give your pie a more intense flavor.
If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes. Just add a little more sugar to the filling, as regular limes are more tart.
To make the pie crust, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to chill the dough before baking.
When making the filling, be sure to whisk the eggs and egg yolks together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
Bake the pie in a water bath. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

This vegan key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, tangy key lime flavor, and graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
