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
- 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°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted vegan butter until the mixture resembles moist crumbs. Press this mixture into a parchment-lined 8-inch square baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the sweetened condensed milk, silken tofu, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and cornstarch. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
- Once set, serve the bars chilled with vegan whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of extra lime zest.
Notes
For the freshest flavor, use fresh lime juice from key limes if available.
Allow the bars to chill sufficiently in the fridge for the best texture and flavor.
These bars can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
