Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Vegan butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 14 ounces Silken tofu (drained)
• 0.5 cups Fresh lemon or lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon or lime zest (finely grated)
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 2.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch of salt
• 1 serving Optional: Whipped vegan cream and citrus slices for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted vegan butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and slightly firm. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

While the crust cools, prepare the filling. In a blender or food processor, add the silken tofu, lemon or lime juice, zest, maple syrup, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Blend the mixture on high until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the filling to set completely.

Step 9

Once set, garnish with whipped vegan cream and thin slices of lemon or lime, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy this bright and creamy dessert!
