Yield 6 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pecans, plus extras for garnish
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1 tbsp sweetener of choice, or stevia equivalent
  • 12.3 oz silken-firm tofu (Here's a soy free version: Vegan Pecan Pie)
  • 2 tbsp molasses, or additional maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp melted chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  • 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. The pie fills up a prepared graham-cracker crust. If your crust is bigger, you might want to make 1 and 1/2 servings or even double the recipe. I cut this pie into 9 slices for the party, but that was because people often prefer “taste-size” slices at parties with many desserts. I’d say this recipe could comfortably serve six.
