Ingredients

Calories: 250 Protein: 7 g

FOR THE PIE CRUST

  • 3.5 oz vegan vanilla cookies
  • 0.25 cups dairy-free butter or coconut oil

FOR THE FILLING OF THE PIE

  • 1.0 blocks firm tofu
  • 1.0 large avocado
  • .25 cups coconut oil
  • .25 cups agave or other sweetener to taste
  • 2.0 tbsp. plant-based milk
  • .33333 cups lemon juice
  • 2.0 tbsp. lemon zest

Preparation

 

  1. To prepare the crust, crush the cookies until you get a fine powder.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the powdered cookies with the butter or coconut oil until you get a paste. 
  3. Add this paste to a pie mold, and spread it over the entire surface. Compact it very well, until it is rigid. Freeze the crust while you prepare the filling. 
  4. For the filling, blend all the ingredients except the lemon zest. It will probably take a little work because it is a pasty mixture, but be patient! To create a smooth, soft, and thick mixture without lumps, stop the blender suddenly and stir gently with a spoon. 
  5. Add the lemon zest to the mixture, and stir. Pour the mixture over the frozen pie crust, and spread it over the entire surface. Freeze for 3 hours.
