This vegan lime pie has a creamy, sweet-tart filling that is made in the blender! It's a delicious, healthy spin on classic lime pie that is simple to make.
1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. (See notes for vegan and no-bake crust). In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oil, egg white,vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
2.
Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan and press it into the pan to form the crust, working it up the sides and evenly along the bottom of the pan (about ÂĽ-inch thick). Flute the edges if you like. I use a small measuring cup to flatten the crust along the base of the pan.
3.
With a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the pie crust. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool completely- you can place it in the freezer to speed up the process.
4.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the soaked/drained cashews. Green peas and use place in the blender. Add the lime juice, lime zest (start with 2 tablespoons), sweetener, coconut cream, and vanilla.
5.
Pulse the blender a few times, then blend/process on high for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides with a spatula every minute or so. When the mixture is smooth, turn the blender to low speed and slowly drizzle in the melted coconut oil. Blend on high for another minute to combine.
6.
Taste and adjust, adding a few more drops of sweetener or more lime juice or zest if needed. Pour the Key lime pie filling into the flour crust. Smooth the top of it with a spatula. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
7.
Before serving, decorate with lime wedges, lime slices, and lemon zest (optional).
