Key Lime Vegan Pie Recipe

Creamy dreamy vegan key lime pie! This deliciously lime flavored pie has a perfect mousse texture and is wonderfully sweet and tart at the same time.

I’ve been wanting to make a vegan key lime pie forever. The thing that was holding me back? I didn’t know what kind of key lime pie I wanted to make.

Was I going to do something like avocado and key lime juice for a lovely raw vegan version? Was I going to do a baked version? Something in-between?

In the end it was looking at what the ‘regular’ version of key lime pie actually is that was the deciding factor.

A regular non-vegan key lime pie uses condensed milk, key lime juice and zest and egg yolks for the filling.

So I decided to just do an adaptation of the ‘original’.

And by the way if you love key lime flavor then check out our key lime cake and key lime cupcakes too!

KEY LIMES VS REGULAR LIMES

And then when it comes to key limes vs limes, you can use either/or. So whatever is easiest to get hold of, it won’t make a significant difference to your end result. To be more ‘traditional’ use key limes, but really no worries at all if you use regular limes.

You will love this vegan key lime pie! It is:

• Creamy
• Mousse textured
• Deliciously lime flavored
• Super easy to make
• Both perfectly sweet and tart!
• Keep it covered in the coldest part of your fridge and enjoy within a few days. It is also freezer friendly, just let it thaw in the fridge when you’re ready for it.
