Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup silken tofu
3/4 cup cane sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch-square baking dish with oil, then line with parchment, leaving an overhang, and brush parchment with oil. Set aside.
  • Make the crust: Stir together 1/2 cup oil, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add flour and stir until just combined. Press dough into prepared dish and bake until pale golden-brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Process tofu, sugar, lemon zest and juice, baking powder, and flour in a food processor until smooth. Pour onto baked crust and bake until set, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cool completely, then dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into squares.

These squares were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These squares were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too much lemon juice. I'll definitely try them again with less lemon juice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my squares turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend trying them because they were still very good.
