I brought this pie into work for people to try. The consensus was definitely thumbs up! A great alternative to cream pie for those who don’t eat dairy.

Helpful Hints
- This recipe is categorized as “plant-based”. If you are vegan or prefer an alternative to honey try brown rice syrup, agave nectar or maple syrup.
- Any berry or nut extract can be used in place of (or in addition to) vanilla in this pie. Be aware that tofu carries the flavours very well, so be light-handed with any flavour additions.
- For a firmer texture use extra-firm tofu.
Mori-Nu tofu is usually found in the refrigerated section of your local Health First store or supermarket, along with other tofu and tempeh products. However, it can be stored at room temperature until opened.
