Steps

Vegan Pastry Case

  1. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir through the icing sugar and salt, then add the chilled margarine cubes.
  3. Use your fingers to mix together the flour and fat, until it’s like breadcrumbs.
  4. Stir in a tablespoon of water at a time, until the pastry comes together.
  5. Shape it into a ball then wrap it in a cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan).
  7. Roll out the pastry to 0.5cm thick and use it to line your pie tin.
  8. Trim the edges and prick your base with a fork, then return it to the fridge for one hour.
  9. Line the pie case with baking paper and fill it with baking beads, then bake it for 30 minutes until cooked through.
  10. Remove the baking beads and paper, and return it to the oven for 10 minutes to color, then leave it to one side to cool.

Vegan Silk Filling

  1. Strain the chilled coconut cream, discarding the water, and put it into a food processor.
  2. Add the silken tofu and icing sugar, then blitz until smooth.
  3. With the motor running, drizzle in the melted chocolate and process until it’s well mixed together.
  4. Pour into a prepared pastry case and chill for 4 hours, or overnight.

  3. And in the icing sugar and whisk to firm peaks, then pile it on top of the set pie filling.
  4. Grate extra dark chocolate on top, then serve.
