Vegan Pecan Pie

Oh, I love me some good ol’ Pecan pie! The crunch of the pie crust, the nutty flavor of the Pecans mixed with the sweet gooey center makes my mouth just water.

So that’s why I was so excited when I was able to Veganize it! I always bake two vegan pecan pies during the holidays and they are always the first pies gone. Needless to say, some of my guests don’t even know it’s vegan and I’ve never had any complaints! (score!)

I’m happy to say that the ingredients for this pie are all kitchen staples in a Vegan household; and even if you by chance don’t have an ingredient, you won’t have a hard time finding it at your local grocery store. 

Tell me about the crust..

Now, for the pie crust, I opted to go the easy route and purchase a pre-made Wewalka Vegan pie crust dough.  I know some people like making their own  pie crusts from scratch, and more power to ya if that’s you- but I’m a lazy baker and like my shortcuts!

And the filling?

The filling is made with Extra Firm Silken Tofu and a whole bunch of other yummy ingredients. I know it may sound a bit odd to add Tofu to a desert but believe me, you can’t taste it and the Tofu creates this silky thick texture you want in a great tasting Pecan pie.

What about a topping?

And finally, a pie is not complete without whipped cream! Luckily we’re going to make a fast Coconut whipped cream made from just two ingredients (yes, only two ingredients- easy huh?).

Alright, enough chit chat.. let’s get to the recipe! I hope you and whoever you share this pie with enjoy every bite. Happy baking!

Love always,
Catherine
