Ingredients
1 cup pecans (plus extras for garnish)
12.3 oz silken-firm tofu, lite or regular (one Mori-Nu package)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot
1/2 cup agave or maple syrup
1/2 tablespoon sugar (or more or less, as desired)
2 T molasses (or more agave, if you don’t want a molasses flavor)
2 T cocoa powder
Preparation
Blend all ingredients, except pecans, in a food processor until very smooth. Then add the pecans and pulse a few times until they’re chopped.
Pour into a prepared pie crust, and top with additional pecans if desired.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes. If you serve the pie immediately, it’ll be very gooey (not necessarily a bad thing). But if you let it chill in the fridge, it firms up quite nicely the longer it sits.
