Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the Crust: Combine your flour and cold coconut oil in a bowl. Work the oil into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together. Roll it out and press it into your pie dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Pre-bake (Optional but Recommended): For the crispest pie, blind bake the crust for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C) using pie weights.
- Macerate the Fruit: In a bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb and sliced strawberries with a tablespoon of maple syrup. Let them sit for 15 minutes.
- Blend the Custard: Place the silken tofu, coconut milk, maple syrup, cornstarch, and vanilla into your blender. Process on high until creamy.
- Assemble: Arrange the macerated fruit over the pre-baked crust. Pour the custard mixture slowly over the fruit.
- Bake: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the edges are golden and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Cool Completely: Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least two hours, then refrigerate for another two hours.
Notes
Ensure your silken tofu is at room temperature before blending to help with the custard's consistency. If you notice crust browning too quickly, wrap the edges with aluminum foil.
