Nothing says summer<\/em> like a slice of key lime pie! We\u2019ve given this classic treat an undetectably vegan<\/strong> and (optionally) gluten-free<\/strong> makeover, and it\u2019s kind of epic<\/em> how much it tastes like the real deal. It\u2019s perfectly tart, refreshing, and decadent all at the same time. We\u2019re pretty sure you\u2019ll find any excuse to make it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just 9 ingredients<\/strong> required and perfect for sharing with family and friends! Start zesting, we have pie to make!<\/p>\n

How to Make Vegan Key Lime Pie<\/h2>\n

This CLASSIC vegan key lime pie begins with making the graham cracker crust\u2026unless you\u2019re in a hurry and grab a store-bought crust (don\u2019t worry, we won\u2019t tell!). <\/p>\n

But a homemade graham cracker crust<\/strong> is easy, too, and requires just 2 ingredients: homemade graham crackers<\/a> (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<\/em> squeeze-y! <\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s on to the creamy, tart-sweet lime filling<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n

\"Whisking<\/figure>\n

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\u2019s time to pour the thick, creamy mixture over the crust and give it some chill time in the refrigerator so it can fully set.<\/p>\n

Then all that\u2019s left is to decorate, slice, and enjoy! Our favorite way to decorate is with cashew whipped cream<\/a> dollops around the outside of the pie. That way everyone gets a pretty slice with the perfect amount of whipped cream!<\/p>\n
