Key Lime Pie (made of tofu products...wonderful believe it or not) - XPosted

Posting to four lists because many people are looking for a way to get more tofu

into their diets, or to serve dairy free (at least the filling is). AND to have

it taste and look wonderful. This does so I want to be sure that many folks get

it.

 

It's like a cheesecake. YUM. There is absolutely no way anyone would ever

know the contents unless told. It's that 'normal' tasting and in consistency.

I am going to take it to our huge family campout...where only 1 person must have

dairy-free...and I know everyone will love that this is healthy, cool and good.

 

One other thing I liked: there is NOTHING to making this. Open everything and

throw into a mixer or food processor...pour into shell. The only negative was

that it seemed a bit tart; I over-did the fresh lime peel, for one thing. But

next time I'm going to make my own shell (instead of using the Keebler) and I

will perhaps add more sugar. OR I might just use more honey in the filling.

The honey I had was old and had crystalized...I wonder fresh would be better and

sweeter. BUT, no matter... it's just good even on the tart side.

 

Enjoy, Brenda

Review: Very good. Next time I will make homemade shell because the pie

filling is a little tart and perhaps a nice homemade shell would is sweeter than

the Keebler I used...or could be made sweeter. Otherwise, this is amazing and

cool and NOBODY could ever tell it's made from bean curd!! Delicious!!
