Dairy-Free Low-Fat Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1.5 packages Mori-Nu extra firm lite tofu
- 2 cups canned pumpkin
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 8-inch unbaked deep dish pie shell
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2 | In a food processor or blender, blend the tofu until smooth. |
| 3 | Add the canned pumpkin, honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the blender. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. |
| 4 | Pour the mixture into the 8-inch unbaked deep dish pie shell, spreading it evenly. |
| 5 | Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately one hour, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch. |
| 6 | Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. The filling will be soft initially but will firm up as it chills. |
| 7 | Once cooled, place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least a couple of hours or overnight. Chilling will help the pie set further and enhance its flavors. |
| 8 | Once chilled, slice the Dairy-Free Low-Fat Pumpkin Pie and serve. Enjoy the creamy texture and delicious flavors! |
