Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs or honey-free graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons vegan butter melted
- 1 (11.25 ounce) can coconut or oat sweetened condensed milk or homemade*
- 10.8 ounces Mori Nu silken tofu drained
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons lime zest
- 2/3 cup fresh lime juice from key limes if possible
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted vegan butter in a medium bowl until it resembles moist crumbs.
- Press the mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the sweetened condensed milk, silken tofu, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and cornstarch until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan.
- Heat the mixture on medium-high, whisking constantly until it comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate it for at least 3 hours.
- Once set, cut into bars and serve with vegan whipped cream and extra lime zest on top.
Notes
Using fresh key limes enhances the flavor, but regular limes work well too.
These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week for best freshness.
For a sweeter touch, increase the sugar in the filling by a tablespoon.
