Nana Cream Pie
Crust:
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
2-3 tablespoons water
Filling:
1 pkg Nasoya Silken tofu (1lb)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bananas
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup corn starch
1 banana, sliced thinly
1/4 cup chocolate chips
nuts (optional)
Crust:Mix dry ingredients together.
In small saucepan, melt chocolate chips in oil in double boiler.
By hand, or in food processor, mix chocolate into dry ingredients.
When it is thoroughly blended, add just enough water to form a smooth, not sticky, dough.
Roll out dough into 9" pie plate. Bake at 400 degrees, until just crisp, about 5 minutes.
Filling:Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips and nuts.
Place them in a heavy bottom saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until it becomes a thick pudding. Remove from heat.
Arrange banana slices on bottom of cooled crust. Keep aside 1/4 cup of filling, and pour the rest into the crust.
Melt the chocolate chips and add to the saved 1/4 cup filling. Drizzle it over the top of the pie.
Chill for about 2 hrs.
Can top pie with nuts and even put them in the crust mix.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
i have also drizzled on warm pb as a decoration...soooo good!!! :P
This was pretty good. The filling sort of had a tofu-y taste, so I mixed the topping (with the melted chocolate) right into the rest of the pie filling. The chocolate flavor was strong enough to mask any residual tofu taste, but still tasted like yummy (chocolate) banana cream pie. Unfortunately, this made the whole pie brown, but taste is more important than looks. The crust was really good--like a crunchy chocolate cookie. Really enjoyed the recipe and plan on making it again in the future, thanks!
