Ingredients
Vegan Key Lime Pie
- 1.5 cups almond meal 170 g
- 3 tbsp shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp coconut milk canned
- ½ cup dates pitted (80 g)
- ½ cup oat flour 60 g
Filling
- 7 oz silken tofu 200 g
- 2 cups cashews soaked overnight (260 g)
- ⅓ cup coconut milk canned (80 g)
- 4 limes juiced
- ¼ cup rice syrup 85 g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the crust in your food processor and blend until a crumbly mixture forms. You might want to soak and drain your dates first if you don’t have a good food processor.
- Check on the mixture with your fingers to see if it’s sticky enough by pinching it. Adjust with more wet or dry ingredients as needed.
- Transfer your mixture to a round tart tin and press it evenly with your fingers to create the no-bake crust. Cover and place in the fridge.
- Now, make the filling by adding all ingredients (including the soaked and drained cashews) to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste test to see whether you want to adjust anything and make your filling sweeter or tarter.
- Get your crust from the fridge and pour the filling on top, distributing it evenly with a spatula or large spoon. Try to smooth out the top as best as you can.
- Place the whole no-bake pie into the freezer for 2-3 hours to let it set.
- Allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before decorating with coconut whipped cream, desiccated coconut or sliced lime and slicing it.
Notes
- Depending on how tightly you pack your cups, you may need to adjust the ratio of dry to wet ingredients a bit to get the right consistency. Just play around with them for a bit!
- Instead of almond meal, you can blend up whole almonds or use cashews or even macadamia nuts.
- You can replace the rice syrup with agave or maple syrup if you want to (the latter will result in a darker filling).
