Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie

Considering that I’ve been in Florida for almost two months now, I figured I couldn’t leave without making a PurelyPope Version of Vegan Key Lime Pie!! Key Lime Pie is a Floridian staple and the limes here are just to die for. It’s such an amazing summer dessert and this one will NOT disappoint, promise!

Raw Vegan Key Lime Pie Breakdown!

Typical key lime pie is packed with sugar and dairy – two things that I do my best to stay away from. That being said, let’s break down the composition of the vegan key lime pie…

• Crust: For the crust, I did an almond flour base, which is gluten free and both a high protein and fiber flour, as well as packed with healthy fat. All things I love! I used monk fruit maple syrup to sweeten the crust, but you can use regular as well!
• Filling: For the filling of the pie, typical recipes call for condensed milk, but I opted to go with a full fat coconut milk. Coconut milk is rich in electrolytes, as well as healthy fat which is great. To add an amazing creamy texture to the filling, I used the base of plain vegan cream cheese and avocado. Yes, avocado! Just trust me! I also of course added a ton of fresh lime juice and lime zest – that’s obvious!
• Method: One of my favorite parts about this recipe is the fact that it’s ‘no bake’ – aka no fuss! All you have to do is pop it in the freezer. It’s super simple and hard to go wrong!
