Directions:
TO MAKE YOGURT CREAM CHEESE: Line a colandar with a double layer of
cheesecloth or a linen kitchen towel. Material must be clean and damp.
Gently pour the yogurt into the cloth-lined colandar. Gather the ends
of the cloth to create a bog for the draining yogurt. Hang the bag with
string from your kitchen faucet or other spot where it can be left 6-8
hours or overnight. Be sure there is a container under it, in order to
sve the drippings to use in baking bread or boiling rice. Chill before
using.
TO MAKE THE PIE CRUST: Combine the ingredients in a pie plate. Toss
with a fork until thoroughly combines, then press on the bottom and
sides of the pie plate. Fill and bake as with a regular crust.
Variation: For sweet pies, add 2 tsp. honey or 1 pkg. of sugar
substitute to the crust.
FOR THE PIE: Arrange whole hulled berries in the pie shell and chill.
Place the apple and lemon juice, agar-agar and sweetening in a saucepan
and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in
vanilla. Allow to cool slightly, not too 02/07/92 4:59 PM will solidify
in the pan. (if this happens, reheat the mixture) Spoon the mixture over
the chilled berries in the pie shell and chill until firm. Garnish
with dollops of Whipped Tofu Topping
TO MAKE WHIPPED TOFU TOPPING: Combine ingredients in a blender on low
speed. Serve on fruit pies, fresh fruit or whole wheat pancakes...OR on
Carol and Punky's Waffles! (I haven't tried that yet, but bet it would
be tasty!
