Tofu Pumpkin Pie

[veganmo]

Every year all the people on my block have Vegan Thanksgiving, I made this pie and everyone loved it even three people said it was the best pie (vegan or not) they have ever had

This is really, really, really delicious!  I have brought it to play groups and parties and seen people GOBBLE up tofu without even realizing it!  After letting people in on the "secret" they still wanted the recipe!  AMAZING!  and the best part is, since I am a total pig, there is always left over batter that I can eat by the spoonful!  Thanks for this one!

OMG. this was the beez kneez!  i put a layer of pecans on the bottom (very simple but very nice)... and used the olive oil pie crust (DON'T USE AS MUCH SALT AS IT SAYS... but it's great recipe too... it wasn't the pie's fault)...  anyways, I had enough filling left over I made more pie crust and made these cute little mini pies with a muffin tin!  So cute! I'd have posted a picture of it... but I ate them all up before I could.  This pie is something to have when you are feeding a lot of people...  Sweets don't last long when their in my grasp.. I rarely keep them around.. mmm mmm mmmmm.

I made this over Christmas and slacked on the review. WOW, is this good. It was my first pie ever (vegan or otherwise) and it was delicious.

The specifics:

1. I followed the instructions on the recipe to a T and used firm silken tofu.
2. I used a Mrs. Smith pie crust (on the PETA accidentally vegan list).
3. I used my little food chopper (think a mini-food processor), which was just barely big enough for this recipe.

It was awesome. I kept going back and forth on whether the spices were too heavy but ultimately decided that they were quite good, and even got better as the pie sat longer. (I might use a tiny little less clove next time, though).

I too had an issue with the top cracking. Here's a dumb question: when reducing the temperature of the oven, do you leave the pie in or do you take it out until the oven is reset? I'm just thinking that it takes awhile for ovens to reset their temperature. I'm wondering if my cracks had to do with leaving the pie in a hotter-than-should-be oven for 15-20 minutes? Might it have been better if I waited for the oven to totally reset and then started from there?

This pie is a bit firm for my taste but is still really good!

I only had a 29oz can of pumpkin, a 12 oz block of firm REGULAR tofu, and a pie plan big enough for two recipies worth of filling, soooo, I used the whole can of pumpkin, the whole block of tofu, a few tablespoons of soymilk and doubled everything else.  I left it at the higher temp a little longer (maybe as much as 30 minutes) than called for because I had other things in the oven, and then cooked the called for 60 minutes.  It turned out awe-diddily awesome.

I double the recipe with sweet potatoes and quadrupled the spice cuz I like it spicy! When I had everything in the mixer I noticed the tofu kind of looked lumpy and I wanted it smooth. So I put the filling in a blender and gave it a good whirl. I also added two tablespoons of coconut milk since I had it left over. The end result was a creamy, almost made me faint it was so good couple of pies. That were gone by evening.

This pie turned out amazing! I made one for thanksgiving, there were two other non-vegan pumpkin pies at the dinner party... at the end of the night mine was gone! and the other ones were barely eaten

This was really good and firmed up just to the right consistency

This was great. I steamed my pumpkin and used 2 cups. I did not use any optional spices or cornstarch. I used Extra Firm Tofu (silk). Put it in the food processor for a bit and then threw in everything else to mix as well . Cooked it according to directions. Perfect pumpkin pie. Thanks so much for this recipe.

Absolutely Amazing!
I was so afraid of trying this...I really thought it would taste like tofu...but it was perfect!  Everything I remember pumpkin pie being! 
I mixed it all together with a hand mixer, used 1 tbsp of pumpkin pie spice, and didn't have any tofu lumps.  Simply wonderful!  I'm just so excited that I can have pumpkin pie again!
