Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Natural honey
- 12 ounces Silken tofu
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Fresh key lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Natural sweetener (e.g., Stevia or Erythritol)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, blend the graham crackers until they are fine crumbs.
Add the almond butter and honey to the processor and blend until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch pie pan to form an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.
In the food processor, combine silken tofu, Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, natural sweetener, and cornstarch. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the filling mixture into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set.
Before serving, garnish with additional lime zest if desired.
