Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (natural)

Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed coconut milk (natural)
  • 8 oz plant-based cream cheese (plant-based), softened
  • 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Garnishes

  • Lime zest
  • Thin lime slices
  • Edible flowers
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted vegan butter, and powdered sugar (natural) in a bowl. Mix until all crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture can hold together. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a pie pan to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed coconut milk (natural), softened plant-based cream cheese (plant-based), fresh key lime juice, vanilla extract (natural), and powdered sugar (natural) until smooth and creamy. Carefully blend in the natural gelling agent to help the filling set properly without losing creaminess.
  3. Pour and Chill: Pour the creamy filling mixture over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly to cover the base completely. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until the filling is firm and well chilled for the best texture and flavor.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with lime zest, thin lime slices, edible flowers, or fresh mint leaves to enhance both presentation and flavor. Slice and enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the brightest and most natural citrus flavor.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly for at least 3 hours to ensure the filling sets properly and flavors meld.
  • Measure the natural gelling agent carefully to avoid an overly stiff or unset filling.
  • Finely crush graham cracker crumbs for a better crust texture and easier slicing.
  • Adjust the powdered sugar (natural) to your preferred sweetness.
