A Vegan Key Lime Pie you will want more of!

Craving a tropical vacation? This key lime pie should do the trick. The tangy citrus filling has a lusciously creamy texture that’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and a lightly salted almond butter crust perfectly complements the tart interior so you get a full range of flavors in every bite.

Beautifully tart and lusciously creamy, this vegan pie takes your taste buds on a tropical vacation. The tangy filling has a rich, custardy texture thanks to agar powder, a gelatin-like thickener made from seaweed. A lightly salted crust perfectly complements the fresh citrus that shines through in this show-stopping dessert. Garnish with fresh lime slices for extra presentation points!

INGREDIENTS

• 1¼ cups spelt flour, whole wheat flour, or whole wheat pastry flour
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
• 3 tablespoons almond butter or sunflower butter
• 1¾ cups unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
• 1½ teaspoons agar powder
• ½ to ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
• ¾ cup lime juice (from 4 to 6 regular limes or 10 to 12 Key limes)
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• Lime slices, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl stir together flour and salt. Using your fingers, rub almond butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse sand. Stir in ½ to ⅔ cup very hot water until a smooth, firm dough forms.
2. On a well-floured work surface, roll out dough to an 11-inch round. Press dough into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate; prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake about 20 minutes or until crust is dry and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
3. For filling, measure milk in a measuring cup; remove 2 tablespoons milk to a small bowl. Add agar to the small bowl and stir to make a paste.
4. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining milk over low until it begins to steam and is very close to boiling. (Do not boil.) Whisk in the agar mixture. Cook 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and cool 30 minutes.
5. When the milk mixture is just warm to the touch, stir in maple syrup, lime juice, and zest. Pour the filling into the crust. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with lime slices.
