Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup silken tofu
3/4 cup cane sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch-square baking dish with oil, then line with parchment, leaving an overhang, and brush parchment with oil. Set aside.
  • Make the crust: Stir together 1/2 cup oil, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add flour and stir until just combined. Press dough into prepared dish and bake until pale golden-brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Process tofu, sugar, lemon zest and juice, baking powder, and flour in a food processor until smooth. Pour onto baked crust and bake until set, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cool completely, then dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into squares.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the tofu didn't come out crispy at all. The sauce was good, but the tofu was just mushy.

This dish was a great way to use up some leftover tofu. It was easy to make and very flavorful. I will definitely be making it again.

The tofu was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the tofu for a shorter amount of time next time.

The tofu was a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend marinating the tofu in some flavorful spices before cooking it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tofu squares turned out perfectly. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a splash of lime juice to balance it out.
