    It's all a balancing act between indulgences and nutrient-rich foods.

    There's a pretty big chance that the majority of you are going to be terrified of this recipe once you view the ingredient list. But I just want to get it all out in the open and talk about why you are going to love this pie if you're a coconut lover like I am. More like obsessed really.

    During the holidays, I feel like so many of us are picking and choosing what foods we get to indulge on in order to stay health-conscious. Cream pies generally aren't on the list of those desserts that we pick in order to keep our waist-lines in check. On top of that, what about all the vegans that want to enjoy cream pies and can't anymore? Well, let me tell you. I have the most delicious solution to both issues on hand. And the awesome thing is that it only takes 5 minutes to put together, so if you're planning your menu at the last minute, this one is totally do-able. An impressive pie that took you only a few hands-on minutes.

    About 7 or 8 Thanksgiving's ago, I made this pie for the first time for dessert at my ex-future-in-laws (totally weird right?). Mr. Ex-Future-Father-in-Law is a huge coconut fan like me, so I was excited to give this one a whirl. He's also nowhere near a health-nut, so I was equally scared out of my mind. I didn't want it to taste healthy by any means. I was aiming to impress. I didn't give away my secret ingredients. I didn't mention anything about it being healthy. I just let everyone dig in.

    And I still remember him standing there just loving his piece of pie. Saying how good it was. And there I was just snickering inside. I didn't want to ruin the experience, so I let it go. Until later when we were all sitting around watching tv.

    "The pie. It was tofu."

    "What was tofu?"

    "All of it."

    "REALLY? Seriously?! But it was so good! Aw man!"

    Totally shocked and taken aback. He loved the pie and had no clue it was mostly tofu that he was eating. Knowing there was tofu in it didn't change the fact that this pie was delicious - although I think he was bummed to find out that he could enjoy something so much that was tofu-based. Seriously one of my favorite moments as a healthy baker.

    If you're looking for a non-dairy, healthy, and delicious pie this holiday season, this Vegan Coconut Cream Pie is the one for you and your loved ones.

      Thank you = this is ridiculously DELICIOUS! Not exactly low calorie, but coconut cream pie is one of my husband's favorites, and he hasn't enjoyed it since we began eating a GF plant-based diet...until now! Will definitely make this again and again!

      I made this and it is so easy and delicious. May I say that I did add about a teaspoon full of Coconut Extract. It seemed to add just a bit of a stronger coconut flavor and didn't change the texture of the pie at all. Thank you for guiding me into cooking with tofu! So amazingly easy and delicious!

      So I tried the recipe with a twist - added half apricots on one side and strawberries on the other - let's see what comes out!
