You can find several recipes for nut crusts in the " Desserts "

section of the files.

 

Files > ***Recipes Posted to VGF*** > Desserts > Pies and Pie Crusts

> Pie Crusts

 

I had a very quick check and most have margarine as an ingredient,

but if you can't find a soy free marg there is one without it -

" Nut Crust - 2 (SF) " . If you have a good look you could probably

find some others.

1 cup crushed gf cookies (of any kind you can have) or nuts

5 T shortening or lard (I use lard)

1/2 cup sugar

 

Put in ziploc or food processor to crush cookies. Mix in rest of

ingredients. Pat into a pie shell.

 

bake for 10 minutes

 

I use the above for any kind of 'graham cracker' crust recipe - homemade

ginger cookies went great with a ginger pumpkin cheesecake (which isn't gf

or vegan, but it could have been a tofu based version and would have worked

just as well).

There are soy based " lards " out there (although I am not vegan). Palm

shortening or any type of solid shortening works. When avoiding dairy,

going to margarines seldm mworks - most contain casein and the few left are

seldom formulated for baking (they have air whipped in them or revert to a

liquid state after heating).

 

For non-vegans, saturated fats are better for you than hydrogenated (which

is the process used for ALL liquid fats turned into solids, even if the

serving size is defined as small enough that they can claim zero trans

fats). Butter actually contains a decent level of good fats (compared to

soy or cottonseed shortening); lard even more so (includng vit E). Vegan

saturated fats include palm and coconut and avocado and nut butters.

earth balance makes a vegan shortening that is non hydrogenated and works very

well.
