Tofu Pumpkin Pie


This is a high-protein, low sugar, low fat version of pumpkin pie. It is a low calorie variation of similar recipes found elsewhere on Livestrong. It's not overly sweet, doesn't have a conventional crust, and might be confused with a sinful and exciting slice of normal pie. 


Prep Time:10 minutes
Cooking Time: 70 minutes
Serves:8
Yield:8 slices

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups Canned Pumpkin
8 oz Extra Firm Tofu
4 oz Egg Beaters
3/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
3 tbsp Organic Raw Blue Agave Nectar
1 cup All Natural Whole Soy Nutlettes Cereal
2/3 cup Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk
3 sec. Canola Cooking Spray

Directions

  1. Set aside the Nutlettes, unsweeten Soy milk and Canola Spray.
  2. Mix all remaining ingredients together in blender until smooth. 
  3. Use a 9" pyrex pie pan or a 8 by 8 pyrex dish, greased with canola spray. 
  4. Moisten the Nutlettes with the soy milk and pat into the bottom and sides of the pyrex dish
  5. Cook at 425 for 15 minutes, then turn down oven to 350 and cook for another 55 minutes. Cool before serving.
