I can't believe this worked, one of my vegan friends gave it to me.
Crust: 8 + graham crackers
3 tsp sugar
3/4 stick margarine (I changed this to be 4 tbsp of Soy Garden, to reduce the fat)
pulverize crackers, add sugar, put in a pie pan and pour in melted soy butter. form with a spoon and bake for 8 mins at 350 degrees F
Filling: Over a double boiler
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups of soy milk
3 tsp potato starch (this is an egg replacer)
4 tsp water
1 tsp vanilla.
Whisk together all but vanilla in double boiler, stirring constantly for 8 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla, let cool. Beat and add to cooled crust. Chill, preferably overnight.
Serves 8 (big pieces).
Rock on

I'm not good at counting fat, but the soy garden has 11 g of fat per tbsp. I'm guessing there is b/t 8-10 grams of fat per piece total. The only stuff with fat (and not much) is the soy milk, graham crackers, and then the butter (which has the most).

I'd love to make this, but I would prefer to use egg beaters instead of the potato starch. What would the equivalent be??
PS - Thanks for sharing this... it looks very yummy!

The person who gave me the recipe wasn't sure how many egg whites it would be. I think he said 2-3, but I would definitely try it first before feeding it to others. There's really not that much potato starch at all. I looked on the potato starch package, and it doesn't say how many eggs it equals. Sorry!

I looked online and it said 1 Tbsp potato starch was a sub for one egg, so it looks like you'd need 2 egg whites in this recipe.
