Great Key Lime Pie (vegan, But You'd Never Guess It!)

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 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)

Recipe

• 1 drain any excess water from the tofu.
• 2 blend tofu and lime juice in a processor or blender until creamy and smooth.
• 3 add the rest of the ingredients (except crust!), and blend again until smooth.
• 4 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.
• 5 pour the mixture into the crust and chill 2-3 hours or until firm.
• 6 this sets up very firm.
• 7 it also makes a great pudding or little tartlet filling for fancy desserts!
• 8 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.
