Pie!

So this is kind of not what I usually post about (in all, what, four entries before this) but pie is always relevant. And this is really, really easy, it just involves a lot of waiting around.

Inspired by this and a day of sitting around doing nothing, I decided to make this:

IGNORE HOW IT WAS MADE IN A SKILLET, IT IS PART OF THE CHARM. Also, I couldn't find any of my pie pans and this was more slopey than my cake pans. But if you are about to make a pie in a skillet, make sure it doesn't have a plastic handle before you put it in the oven. I fucked up there.

Graham Cracker Crust: Nine vegan graham crackers (one sub-package if you're using Western Family) One stick (half a cup) Earth Balance or other vegan baking margarine 1/3 cup unrefined sugar

Preheat the oven to 350. Melt the margarine. In a bowl, crumble the graham crackers as crumbled as you can get them without getting impatient. Mix in sugar. Add margarine and mix until consistent (I just used my hands). Line a pie pan (hopefully a pie pan) evenly with the mixture. Bake for 8ish minutes - doesn't need to get brown, just set. Refrigerate for around 20 minutes.

Filling: Vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (around 1 1/4 cup) One single-serving container of raspberry cultured soy (I used Silk Live) 1 14-ounce package firm silken tofu Soymilk (to consistency)

Blend the chocolate chips, cultured soy and silken tofu in either a food processor or a blender (or in a large bowl with a hand blender if you're prepared for some mess). Add a little soymilk to desired consistency and to smooth the blending (I added around a quarter to a half cup and I didn't even need that much).

Pour filling into refrigerated crust and put back in refrigerator for 2 hours. Eat. Make your roommates eat, too.

Also, I guess it's okay to say that I'm going to be the KUGS Operations Coordinator starting in June. Yay!
