Blue Ribbon Group Vegan Key Lime Pie Cookie Bites
These Vegan Key Lime Pie Cookie Bites have a creamy, silky texture and a vibrant flavor you are going to absolutely love. The surprise ingredient in them is firm tofu! You puree it in a food processor. As a result, this creative cookie is packed with protein. The cookies also have vegan cream cheese and a pudding mix in them, adding to their richness. Honey provides a boost to the sweetness. So between the honey and the tofu, these, these vegan key lime pie cookie bites are a healthy alternative to typical cookies, as well as typical key lime pie!
Make these today! You’ll get your hands dirty, rolling the chilled “filling” to shape them, but will totally be worth it. You will roll them again, this time in crushed graham crackers that have been toasted with coconut oil.
Trust me, these lil’ treats will be a hit with ALL your friends and family, whether they are vegan or not.
