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.
