Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon plant-based butter (for greasing)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Dish: Lightly grease your favorite pie dish with plant-based butter, ensuring every corner is coated to prevent sticking. This guarantees your pie will release easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, all-purpose flour, and the natural gelling agent until fully combined. This creates the base that helps the filling set just right.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly pour in plant-based milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest while whisking continuously. Then add apple cider vinegar and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), stirring gently to activate flavors and texture.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until the filling has set and the top turns a lovely golden hue. The edges might puff up slightly, which is a good sign.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to fully develop texture and flavors. Slice and enjoy this dreamy lemon dessert any time.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor, as fresh juice and zest brighten the pie significantly.
  • Measure ingredients accurately to ensure the custard filling sets properly.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer; it should come out mostly clean with few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully before refrigerating to avoid cracking or shrinking.
  • Optional toppings include powdered sugar (natural) or lemon glaze (natural) for extra charm.
