How to Make Vegan Key Lime Pie

This CLASSIC vegan key lime pie begins with making the graham cracker crust…unless you’re in a hurry and grab a store-bought crust (don’t worry, we won’t tell!). But a homemade graham cracker crust is easy, too, and requires just 2 ingredients: homemade graham crackers (or store-bought) and vegan butter. Simply crush the graham crackers in a food processor, add melted butter, press into a pie pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Easy peasy, lime squeeze-y! Then it’s on to the creamy, tart-sweet lime filling. It begins with blending up lime zest and sugar to bring out the lime flavor! Next, we add cashews, water, (key) lime juice, cornstarch, and sea salt and blend again until super smooth. That mixture goes into a saucepan and heats until boiling, which activates the cornstarch and causes it to thicken. After stirring in the remaining ingredients (vegan butter and vanilla), it’s time to pour the thick, creamy mixture over the crust and give it some chill time in the refrigerator so it can fully set. Then all that’s left is to decorate, slice, and enjoy! Our favorite way to decorate is with cashew whipped cream dollops around the outside of the pie. That way everyone gets a pretty slice with the perfect amount of whipped cream! We hope you LOVE this vegan key lime pie! It’s:ClassicCreamyTart-sweetRefreshingBeautiful& Tastes like the real deal! It’s the perfect dessert for spring and summer gatherings, hot days, or for anyone craving a vegan + gluten-free take on the classic. If you’re bringing it to a gathering, make sure to keep the pie refrigerated until serving to prevent melting.
