-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CRUST

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

pinch salt

1/4 cup chilled margarine -- cut into small pieces

1 tablespoon water

FILLING

1 1/2 cups firm silken tofu -- well drained

2 ripe bananas

1/4 cup sugar (or a natural sweetener

2 tablespoons margarine -- at room temperature

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ounces tofu chocolate (available in natural food

stores)

 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie plate or coat with nonstick

spray and set aside. To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a

food processor. Add the margarine with short pulses until the mixture resembles

coarse crumbs. Add the water and mix until a dough ball begins to form.

Transfer the dough to the prepared plate and press gently into the bottom and

sides. Line the crust with aluminum foil, and fill with dried beans. Bake for

10 minutes, or until the crust is set. Discard the foil and beans. Continue

baking until the crust is light brown, 8 to 10 minutes longer. Remove the crust

from the oven, and set aside.

To make the filling, put the silken tofu, bananas, sugar, softened margarine,

lemon juice, and vanilla into a food processor and mix until well combined.

Spoon the filling into the crust. Melt the tofu chocolate in a double boiler

over simmering water. Pour the melted chocolate over the filling and swirl with

a thin spatula or knife to create a light and dark swirled pattern in the

batter. Bake for 30 minutes, or until firm. Cool to room temperature before

refrigerating. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
