Banana Dream Pie Serves 8
- 1 vegan pie crust
- 1/2 cup sugar or other sweetener
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups rice or soymilk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 pound firm tofu
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped almonds
|
Prepare the crust according to directions. Cool.
Mix the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan, then stir in the milk and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until very thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Drain the tofu and blend it in a food processor until it is totally smooth, then add the pudding and blend until smooth.
Slice the bananas into thin rounds over the cooled crust. Spread the tofu mixture on top.
Toast the chopped almonds in a 375°F oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes, then sprinkle evenly over the pie. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.
