Recipe:Pumpkin Pie

Description

This pie is incredible. It's totally crustless but still firms up like the real deal so you can cut individual slices without it falling apart. It's like a little tofu miracle. You can use Mori-Nu (any firmness) or silken tofu. The tofu must be the soft kind -- like a pudding... not the firm block kind of tofu.

Ingredients

½ cup mori-nu tofu, extra firm
1½ cups nondairy milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups canned pure pumpkin
½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ cup brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9” shallow glass pie dish, set aside. In a blender or food processor, blend tofu, non-dairy milk, cornstarch and vanilla until smooth, stopping to scrape sides periodically. Add remaining ingredients and blend for about a minute more, until the mixture is uniform and well combined. Pour the mixture into the pie dish and bake for 1 hour. Allow the pie to cool on the counter, away from the hot oven, until room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
