Turmeric Silk Pie
Ingredients
Filling:
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips or vegan white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 ounces silken tofu, drained
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Chocolate wafer crust:
- 22 Oreo cookies with filling removed and discarded, or 44 chocolate wafer cookies
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Indonesian cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Chocolate Wafer Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a food processor, grind cookie wafers, cinnamon and sugar into fine crumbs. Slowly add melted coconut oil and pulse to combine.
- Press mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and up the sides to create an edge.
- Bake pie crust for 12 minutes and set aside.
Filling:
- Add the white chocolate to a microwavable bowl and microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until the white chocolate is melted and smooth. It should take about a minute and a half, but be careful not to scorch the white chocolate chips.
- Add vanilla, silken tofu, turmeric, salt and melted white chocolate to a blender. Blend until smooth and scrape sides.
- Pour the filling into baked crust and refrigerate for 3 hours until set firm.
- Garnish pie with whipped cream, toasted coconut and chocolate shavings.
