2 pkg. Tofu Mori-nu silken Medium firm organic tofu

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 heaping tsp. vanilla powder (liquid works but powder avoids alcohol)

3 heaping tsp. Kosher jel (Plain Par eve gelatin, unflavored, unsweetened)

3/4C date pieces for sweetener (May use 1/3 c honey)

1/8 tsp ground Cardamom (An excellent herb replacing harmful cinnamon irritant and stimulant)

1/8 tsp. ground Coriander powder (used with Cardamom for cinnamon replacement)

1 3/4 C water

2 heaping tsp. carob powder (An excellent replacement for chocolate which has many harmful stimulants plus animal waste materials.)

Directions:

Place all ingredients except the tofu into a little kettle and bring to a boil. Do not let it boil more than one minute. The gel will begin to burn. Next place all in the blender and blend till creamy. Sometimes during the making of this pie, you decide you really should have two pies, If you need to make two pies, just add another tofu package and a pudding mix. It will jel up fine.

Optional: To make extra creamy and rich, add in a package of vanilla non dairy pudding mix which contains: dehydrated raw cane juice, sucanate dehydrated honey, oat flour, potato starch, vanilla powder, soy lecithin. Found in food chains such as Fred Meyer nutrition center. It is  Called "Mori- nu Mates".

Crust: Your favorite graham cracker crust, or use a sprinkling of grape nut cereal on the bottom, or make your own crust.

I like this one from the Benton Sisters cook book volume I (For 9 inch pie)

1 1/3 c almonds, ground

2 c. quick oats blended fine

1 tsp salt.

1/t tsp almond extract

4 Tablespoons honey

4 Tablespoons water.

Mix all ingredients then press into pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure filling is cooled  a little and setting up when you place into your crust for better looks.

Topping: Bright colors are so attractive on this desert. Use one Quart pie cherries and thicken with 1Tablespoon corn starch and sweeten with 2T. honey, or buy a can of pie cherries ready for pies. Place this on top of the cooled, jelled pie after it has set for 2 hours or best overnight. Serve cold. Red is the best color on brown. Fresh strawberries would be good, thickened. However we have used thickened blueberries.

3T Emes Kosher Jel

MAPLE CHEESE CAKE

Same as above ony replace honey with maple syrup and use maple flavoring instead of vanilla.
