  • 3.Bake it on its own, poke the dough with a fork, cover it with baking paper and place some weight over it (chickpeas or dried legumes) to keep it from rising. Bake at 200ºC for 10 minutes. Then, take out the chickpeas and the baking paper and bake for another 5 minutes approximately, until golden.

  • *When using tofu for a mousse, it is important to blend it properly to get a smooth and lumpless result.

  • *Be careful with the icing, because of its density, if it gets too cool, it will be very difficult to spread it over the pie. In the same way, it's fundamental for the pie to be completely frozen before applying the icing.
