SO HOW'D IT GO?
This pie is okay, but it's nothing to freak out over. The peanut butter I used wasn't that great, so perhaps that's why the pie was lackluster. Next time, I'll try it with natural skippy, my favorite. Until then... meh. Just meh.
This is fabulous! I could only find a 12 oz package of silken tofu so I used a little less of that. It didn't quite fill the crust, but it was still yummy. I think I may use vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips next time instead though. I also froze the pie because I was impatient and did not want to wait for it to set but it worked well that way.
Thank you, it turned out great! I started out following the recipe in "vegan with a vengeance", but the agar was not dissolving properly; it kept making the filling grainy. I threw out 2 batches of pb filling. Finally, I saw this recipe with good reviews. I had already made the chocolate cookie crust with a chocolate bottom. I used powdered sugar, and added 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup pnut butter, and 1/4 cup coconut milk. I got the highest rating possible from my 14 y/o, who said "OMG" after he took his first bite. Yay!!
This is the my ultimatum fav........ :)>>> Imma peanut butter luv'r. :hotforyou:
This is a supper yummy reese's peanut butter like pie! I added two tablespoons of vanilla almond milk to help smooth it out. One cup of peanut butter was more then enough to give it a strong flavor. Like most vegan pudding pies the flavors really come together 12 to 16 hours after first placing it in the fridge.
This pie is so rich I can settle for 2 small slices a day.
I LOVE this sooo much! My husband and little girl do too! I was pretty nervous because I don't really like tofu, but I was happily surprised at how the peanut butter overpowered it! I made it yesterday and there is none left today. Thnks so much for the recipe!
This pie tasted absolutely delicious! It was really creamy and not too overwhelmingly peanut butter-y, so that both my boyfriend (who loves peanut butter) and I (who am not fond of it) enjoyed it.
However, it never firmed up, and I refrigerated overnight! It's a creamy mess that is hard to cut, serve, and eat. I think it would really benefit from the addition of a thickener such as arrowroot or cornstarch.
This was a surprise. I was skeptical at first about how peanut butter and tofu would go together, but it really works! The minimal ingredients makes for a short prep time and an even shorter grocery list. The cleanup is easy too (unless you accidentally burn your first batch of chocolate like I did, oops). I have only one caveat; this pie is deceptively filling. Eat in very careful moderation!
I'll definitely be making this more often when pie crusts are on sale.
