All the richness and flavor of traditional pumpkin pie without all the heaviness and fat. This vegan treat uses tofu to achieve a creamy texture, and coconut and honey lend a unique touch.

Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients

Pie Crust Ingredients
  • 2 cups Kashi® Good Friends® cereal
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup organic apple juice concentrate

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 pound firm tofu, drained (use silken tofu for a creamier texture)
  • 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin (about 2 cups of fresh-baked pumpkin will work fine too)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice blend

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the Kashi® Good Friends® cereal in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or process in a food processor or blender until it is semi-fine in texture.
  3. Place the cereal in a bowl and add the remaining crust ingredients. Stir until well mixed. Place in a lightly oiled 9-inch glass pie pan and press into place with a spoon or rubber spatula. Bake at 375°F for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before filling.
  4. Blend all filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour into the 9-inch pie crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour. Chill before serving as this will help to firm up the pie.

    I tried this recipe and did not like it at all. The coconut in the crust does not complement the pumpkin filling, and the texture of the crust is not appealling. Even the filling was flat in taste. Also I thought the maple syrup conflicted with the pumpkin.

    It’s easy to crush the cereal in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. This is also really good as a pudding – just omit the crust, put the baking dish with the filling in a metal pan with a couple inches of water in it, and bake. If you miss the crust, you can always serve it with gingersnaps on the side!
