Инструкции
- (This can also be a vegan recipe)
- Filling: Process tofu with sharp food processing blade till very smooth.
- Mix down the sides of the container. Add in lemon rind and lemon juice, salt, tapioca, soy lowfat milk and sugar. Taste to verify your level of sweetness-add in more or possibly less sugar to taste. Add in egg whites and process very thoroughly till very smooth. If you prefer more "custardy" consistency, simply add in more soy lowfat milk.
- Crust: DIXIE DINERS pie crust comes in packets. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Very lightly spray pie tin with non-stick spray. You can even wipe some of it away, using a very, very delicate coating-almost non oil. In a small bowl, use almost exactly 1/2 a packet of dry pie mix and add in 1/4 c. of water to it. Mix with a tsp. and take some plastic wrap and put it down on your counter. Spray which with non-stick spray lightly. Take another piece of plastic wrap and lay which out. Spray the top of which also. Place the pie crust little ball on the "greasy" side of the plastic wrap and cover it "greasy" side down with the other piece. Roll with a heavy roller, pull off the top plastic and turn the other side down into a pie tin. Pull off plastic and pre-bake crust for no more than 8-10 min.
- (NOTE: pre-baked fat free pie crusts are hard to get. You can use low fat food processor cookie crumbles, low fat graham crackers, covered with concentrated frzn apple juice syrup). Dixie Diner's pie crust is excellent but I use only half a packet, because I prefer a thin crust. You might prefer a thick one. Graham crackers sometimes have trans-fats in them. You need to watch the labels.
- COMBINE Add in pie mix to pie crust and bake in the 375 degree oven for about 35 min. Some ovens work quickly so you have to watch closely to make sure it doesn't over-cook. You can experiment with the "texture." If desired a loose, creamy texture you can add in more soy lowfat milk. Or possibly, if desired it almost as a "cake" you can add in more tapioca, sufficient to turn this recipe from a pie-into a cake. You make the choice. Any way you want it-this is wonderful and VERY low in fat.
- You can cover this with meringue if desired. When you make meringue, be sure to use cream of tartar to "stabilize" it. Be sure you cook it long sufficient to kill any bacteria in the egg whites. Slightly "overbooking it" by about 3-5 min will usually do it.
- Be sure to cover and chill. Enjoy.
