Ingredients
1. (1) 12 ounce box of Mori Nu lite firm tofu (do NOT drain)2. 4 medium whole eggs3. 1/2 cup granular splenda4. 1 teaspoon vanilla (I like 2)5. 2 Tablespoons Brummel & Brown yogurt butter (melted)6. ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325F. Spray pie dish with pam butter flavor spray or similar. Blend tofu (do not drain), eggs, splenda and vanilla in blender until smooth and creamy. Slowly drizzle in melted butter with motor running and blend for about another minute. Pour into prepared dish, dust with nutmeg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the center of oven. Do not let over-bake. The edges will puff but it should still be soft and jiggly in the center. Move to wire rack and cool. Then cover and chill. (I like it before it chills too!) Serve with blueberry sauce or fruit of choice. I think it's even good plain! May also be prepared in ramekins, but you may need to reduce cooking time.

Sounds like it might be close to being a cheesecake? what do you think? - 9/11/09

The edges of the pie are kind of cheesecake like but the center is definitely custard. Just be sure and not over bake. When you get this out of the oven the outside edge of the pie is puffed up, but after cooling it settles back down. Doesn't have a cheesecake flavor, definitely custard.

I'm making this tonight. Sounds great. I would like to top it with a hard-sugar like crispy top. Any ideas? I was thinking to sprinkle the top with brown sugar before baking.
* Family liked this. I think I overcooked bc more egglike tough than custard. Melted brown sugar over top after baking. - 11/12/09

The brown sugar sounds great Jess. Let me know how it turns out for you.

Did think I can sub regular sugar for the splenda . I dont care for the after taste splenda leaves. Do you think it would be the same amount? - 10/4/09

Yes, I think you could use regular sugar. I only use it for the lower calorie. You might need to use 1/3 to 1/2 cup depending on you preference for sweetness.
