Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 12 oz silken tofu, drained
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of turmeric

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, and coconut oil until crumbly. Press firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch pan.
  2. Bake crust until edges are lightly golden, about 20 minutes.
  3. Blend tofu, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, vanilla, and turmeric until completely smooth.
  4. Pour filling over the hot crust and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then chill in the fridge at least 2 hours. Lift out, slice into squares, and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

Chill the bars for a full 2 hours in the fridge before slicing. This time is not included in the prep or cook time but is necessary for clean, perfect squares.
