Vegan Key Lime Pie
Key Lime Pie
Ingredients
BASE
- 250g biscoff
- 80g vegan butter, melted
FILLING
- 125ml fresh lime juice
- zest of two limes
- 500ml coconut cream I use Kara – it’s the greatest of all time
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 50g cornstarch
- 90g caster sugar
CREAM
- 1 cup vegan whipping cream I whipped the Flora Pro by @upfieldpro_anz for the first time and it was 10/10
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Blitz the biscoff in a food processor til you have fine crumbs, add the melted vegan butter and blitz again til it just comes together. The mixture should still look crumbly. Empty the mix out into a pie dish or a lined baking pan (I used a20cm springform pan, and just lined the bottom). Take your time in forming a good crust, spread the crumbs evenly using the tips of your fingers and push some crumbs up the sides if using a spring form pan. Then use your hands or a spoon to compact everything down. I like to make a raised but flat edge. I repeat. Take your time, but also don’t stress as it doesn’t need to be perfect! Put your crust into the freezer while you make the filling.
- Place all the filling ingredients into a bowl and whisk until there are NO LUMPS!!!Transfer into a saucepan and heat on low-med heat, continually stirring with a spatula until the mixture thickens, make sure to get in the corners when you are stirring…. and do not stop stirring or you will have a lumpy filling which is not cool! Once thick, transfer into your pie crust and smooth out. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins at room temp before setting in the fridge for at least 4hours.
- Once set, it’s time to make the cream. If you’re using a springform pan, carefully pop your pie out and carefully slide onto a plate. Place cream, sugar and vanilla together and whip until fluffy! Kitchen aid, electric hand-beater or old school whisking will all work! Dollop cream all over your pie and zest some extra lime on top! Chill for another hour (torture I know) before cutting and DEVOURING! ENJOY!

This pie is so good, I made it for all my friends and family and everyone is asking me where I got the recipe from! The only thing I add is a bit of lemon juice, cuz lime don’t give me enough juice to get to 125 ml. 😀 But the taste is exquisite! Looking forward to more recipes like this as well. xo
Just made this cake and the recipe was easy to follow, the cake turned out delicious! I added some matcha powder to make the lime part green in colour (like in Liz’s Instagram video).
The cream on top is a must to balance out the tartness of the lime juice.
A quick hack is to blend the liquid ingredients in a blender to get rid of all lumps easily before cooking in the pot.
Thank you for the recipe!
