A Meyer lemon is a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. If you can't find any, substitute regular lemons. This pie's decadent cream filling is made from protein-rich tofu.


  • for the crust:
  • 1 ¼ cups graham-cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • for the filling:
  • 2 12-ounce containers firm silken tofu (such as Mori-Nu)
  • Grated zest and juice of 2 Meyer lemons
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together all the crust ingredients. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of four tartlet molds or 4-ounce ramekins.
  3. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
  4. In a blender, combine all the filling ingredients until smooth, spoon the mixture into the crusts, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
