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

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.
