Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Easy 3 Ingredient Pie Crust or other pre-baked nut-free Pie Crust of Choice
- ½ cup fresh Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Lime Zest
- ½ cup Maple Syrup (or other liquid sweetener of choice)
- 1 13.5 oz can Full Fat Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 5 tbsp Organic Cornstarch*
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Vegan Whipped Cream, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare or pre-bake your 3 Ingredient Pie Crust, if you haven’t already.
- Next, add all of the filling ingredients into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring constantly so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
- Once the mixture has thickened, pour it into your pre-baked Pie Crust and gently “tap” the pie tin to bring any air bubbles to the surface. Note: keep in mind that this mixture will thicken even more once cooled, so it may appear to be “too runny” at first.
- Refrigerate the Pie for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight) to allow for it to set and thicken. Serve with Vegan Whipped Cream, or as desired.
Notes
- Key Lime Pie is traditionally made with a Graham Cracker Crust, but I opted to make my 3 Ingredient Pie Crust instead. You can do that as well, or use any homemade or store-bought pre-baked Vegan Pie Crust of your choice.
- I have only tested this recipe using a non-GMO Cornstarch as a thickener and would recommend using that for best results. However, it will probably also work with Arrowroot Powder or Tapioca Flour.
- This Pie lasts well in the fridge for up to 7 days, but do not freeze it. This will alter the consistency of the pie and make it spongy.
