Recipe adapted from "The Compassionate Cook" Cookbook by PETA
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Oreo Cookie Crust, unbaked (Recipe follows)
  • 1 cup WowButter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 16 oz. Firm Silken Tofu, drained This is the tofu that comes in the little boxes, 11-12 oz. You will need to buy two boxes to get 16 oz.
  • 25 Oreo Cookies For the crust
  • 1/3 cup Melted Vegan Butter (I use Earth Balance) For the crust

Instructions
 

  • First, make the crust: Slightly break up the Oreo Cookies by hand, then grind into crumbs in a food processor.  Make sure no whole pieces are left.  Add to a mixing bowl along with the melted Vegan Butter. Mix together with a fork until well combined.  Press firmly into a 9 inch pie pan, covering sides and bottom.  Refrigerate until firm, overnight for best results.
    For the Pie: Combine the WowButter, Tofu, Sugar, and Vanilla Extract in a food processor and  blend well until smooth.  Scrape sides down a few times while blending.  Pour into the chilled crust, and smooth top.  I use a pastry spatula.  You can also (very lightly) swirl a design in the top, like the heart I did.  Refrigerate 2 hours.  Extra delicious with a vegan topping, such as the Reddi-Wip we used, or a homemade coconut cream, etc.  Enjoy!  :)
