Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 prepared piecrust (see page 5)
16 ounces silken tofu
1 (30-ounce) can pumpkin purée
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Press the piecrust into an ungreased 8-inch pie pan.
  • Place the tofu, pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a blender and pulse until smooth. (You may have to stop the blender and push down the ingredients a couple of times.) Pour the mixture into the piecrust and bake for 15 minutes. Turn down the oven to 350°F and continue to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pie filling is set in the center. Remove from the oven and cool completely before serving.
  • food trivia
  • Pumpkin pie's primitive cousin, pumpkin pudding, originated with the early American colonists in New England. They sliced off the top of a pumpkin and removed the seeds. They then filled the inside with milk, spices, and honey and baked it in hot ashes.
