Mini Coconut Cream Pies
Vegetarian Times Issue: June 1, 2009 p.51
These little coconut pies are sturdy enough to travel in a lunch box or picnic basket. Check the baking section at your grocery store for vegan-friendly, ready-made graham cracker pie crusts.
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on baking sheet, and toast 5 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, or until golden.
2. Blend tofu in blender or food processor 2 to 3 minutes, or until smooth. Set aside.
3. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Whisk in coconut milk, and cook over medium-high heat 8 minutes, or until thickened, whisking constantly.
4. Remove pan from heat. Fold in tofu, vanilla and coconut extracts, and coconut. Divide among mini pie crusts, and chill.

Loved these, they were a big hit at my son's graduation party last june!
Can you recommend a tofu substitute?
Where can I buy mini crusts?? I have only seen the big pie crusts???
These are delicious pies. I upped the ingredient by half and used full fat coconut milk for one large pie---came out perfect!
These are amazing! At my house we all love them, and make them whenever we want something sweet.
We made one big pie and it was delicious.
