Vegan Lime Bars

I looked for a long time for a vegan recipe for lemon or lime bars. Finally, I altered a non-vegan recipe. They turned out pretty good!

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

Crust:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • â…“ cup confectioners' sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Filling:

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup silken tofu

  • ½ cup lime juice

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons soy milk

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

  2. Combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add oil and mix well. Press crust mixture into the baking pan with your hands.

  3. Mix white sugar, tofu, lime juice, flour, soy milk, and salt together using an electric mixer until well blended. Pour filling over the crust.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and center jiggles only slightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool before cutting into bars.

Cook's Notes:

Use any nondairy milk you prefer.

If desired: Use lemon juice instead of lime. Feel free to add a couple drops of green food coloring to the filling.

Crust can also be baked for 20 minutes before the filling is added, then cooked for another 20 minutes for a crispier crust.
