THE PEANUT BUTTER ADDICT'S VEGAN PIE

I posted a picture of my vegan peanut butter pie on my twitter and got the most retweets and favorites ever on any of my food tweets. This is for you especially @healthygirltip on twitter, enjoy and let me know which you liked best. I follow a few health enthusiasts on twitter and I find that we have these in common, first, we all love desserts, second, we all love vegan deserts and third we are all peanut butter lovers. I think for me peanut butter took second place once I discovered almond butter, but I won't discriminate on my first love, peanut butter dear....still love you :-)

Here are two versions of vegan peanut butter pie that every peanut butter fan will surely appreciate:

1. The Peanut Butter Addict's Vegan Pie

Btw, the new domain name is www.iamforeveryoung.com (easier to remember)

     1 pack firm tofu
     1/2 cup sugar (or 4 ripe bananas, mashed)
     1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
     2 Tbsp cacao powder (optional)
     1/4 cup soy milk
     1/2 tsp vanilla extract
     1/2 tsp lemon juice
     1 vegan pie crust (follow baking direction on pie crust box)

Put all ingredients (except the pie crust of course) into a food processor with an 'S' blend until smooth. Pour filling into pie crust and chill in the freezer covered for about an hour or until firm. Chill for about 15 minutes before serving.
 

2. Creamy Peanut Butter Pie

     1 8oz pack firm tofu (I use Nasoya brand)
     1 8oz Tofutti cream cheese
     2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
     1/2 tsp vanilla extract
     1 Tbsp ground flax seed + 1 Tbsp water
     6 Heaping Tbsp of peanut butter
     5 Tbsp of Blue agave nectar
     1  vegan chocolate pie crust (store-bought)

Blend all ingredients in a food processor with an 'S' blade until smooth. Pour mixture into the chocolate pie crust and bake for 15 minutes at 350 in the oven. Then freeze covered (with surround wrap or foil) for about 1 hour and then put in the fridge for another 45 -60 minutes or until firm. Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and some peanut butter chips. Enjoy!

Quick Chocolate Sauce:

1 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1/2 Tbsp cacao powder
2 tsp agave nectar

Whisk all together in a cup and voila!

Nina and her third build-a-bear, Pinky

While the creamy peanut butter pie was setting in the fridge, I took my little wonder with me to the mall to BUILD-A-BEAR workshop and we got back just in time to enjoy our pie with a cup of green tea. When Ricky gets back from preschool I'm sure he will want his own bear, so I guess we'll be going back to the workshop soon enough, might even make my own bear, it is such a lovely atmosphere, what a brilliant idea!
