Description

This easy and delicious Key Lime Pie recipe features creamy plant-based ingredients and natural flavors for a refreshing dessert. It blends tangy lime with a smooth, luscious texture that is perfect for any occasion, delivering a burst of citrusy freshness with minimal effort and maximum taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons natural sugar

Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh Key lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon natural lime zest
  • 8 oz plant-based cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup natural sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted plant-based butter and natural sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a pie dish, creating an even layer for a sturdy, buttery base. Chill it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed coconut milk, fresh Key lime juice, lime zest, plant-based cream cheese, and natural sugar. Add a small amount of natural gelling agent to help the filling firm up beautifully once chilled. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Pour the luscious filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set fully, giving those flavors time to meld into perfection.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add fresh lime slices, extra zest, or a dollop of plant-based whipped cream on top for an inviting, picture-perfect finish. Enjoy the burst of citrusy goodness in every bite!

Notes

  • Use fresh Key lime juice for vibrant flavor and aroma.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly for best texture and flavor development.
  • Measure the natural gelling agent carefully to achieve a silky smooth filling.
  • Press the crust firmly for an even and sturdy base.
  • Use a microplane to finely grate lime zest, avoiding the bitter white pith.
