• 4 cups of fresh blueberries
• 3/4 vegan sugar

Pour in the blueberries, to about 1/4″ to the top of the crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. (If you do not have Silk creamer, you can use regular soy or rice milk, but the recipe will be a little more liquid.)
Pour the mixture over the blueberries.
Place at the center of the oven, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven. The top of the pie should be golden and crispy.
Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.

• 1 pound strawberries (clean and cut into 1/2 inch slices)
• 1 package raspberry or blueberry (1/2 pint?) or 2 large peaches, sliced and peeled
• 1-2 containers tofutti “better than cream vegan cheese”
• raw cane vegan sugar
• earth balance spread

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.
Take out a pastry sheet and lay it on a dry work surface. Spread a medium thick layer of vegan cream cheese in center in the shape of a square with a border of a few inches around. Sprinkle with a pinch vegan sugar and layer some fruit on it.
Fold in the corners, and if you can, pinch the seams.
Put a bit of Earth Balance (margarine) on your finger and dab it on the crust. Sprinkle with a pinch of vegan sugar.
Place on a “greased” cookie sheet, and bake until golden brown (15-25 min).
Eat warm with vanilla soy ice cream.
