Kefir Festive Pie
Kefir festive pie may take some time to prepare but it's definitely worth it. Homemade kefir cheese or vegan coconut option with delicious crust made of nuts are perfect combination.
This recipe can be tweaked and made many ways. You can make it dairy free with coconut kefir cheese and tofutti. It can also be sugar free, which is how I make it, with stevia. It is also gluten free. Any way you decide to do it, you should really make this recipe. It’s pretty awesome. And remember, tofu is a fermented food too!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup pecans
- pinch sea salt
Kefir festive Pie filling
- 2/3 cup kefir
- 1 cup kefir cheese
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (I used 1/4 cup powdered stevia
for a sugar-free option.) - 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese (dairy free)
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1 ½ cups (12,3 ounces) tofu (silken, firm)
- 1 whole organic candy canes (crushed)
Crust
Place dried cranberries, walnuts, salt, and pecans in a food processor. Blend until the mixture starts to stick together. It usually takes a minute or two. Press the mixture into an 8-inch pie pan and place in the fridge.
Filling
Blend all ingredients, except candy canes, in a high-speed blender or food processor. Pour into a pie pan and freeze for 3 hours. Then you can store it in the fridge or keep it frozen. Top with crushed organic candy canes before serving! Enjoy kefir festive pie any time you want something special and fun!
