Ingredients

  • 2.5 tablespoons brandy 
  •  graham crackers prepared
  • tablespoons cornstarch 
  • ounce cream cheese 
  • 0.5 cup eggnog (see note)
  • tablespoons juice of lemon 
  • 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg packed freshly ground
  • 12.3 ounce silken tofu light firm
  • 0.8 cup sugar 
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • oven

Directions

  1. Drain the tofu and put it and the Tofutti cream cheese into your food processor. Blend until smooth.
  2. Add the sugar and eggnog, and process again until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients (except crust) and process until completely smooth, about 3 more minutes.
  4. Pour into the pie crust and bake in the middle of the oven for about 55 minutes (do not allow to brown). Filling will be slightly jiggly, not completely set until chilled.
