Key Lime Pie that makes the table decor come together was the idea for this delicious pie! It tastes as good as it looks. When you make this pie, be sure you have the crust made first. The filling comes together when heated and it tends to be difficult to pour into the pie shell if cooled. Cooling solidifies the pie and brings it together. The filling should be heated just enough to a watery gravy texture and then poured into the pie shell for that perfect creamy key lime filling. This key lime pie tastes similar to my Dreamy Lemon Squares from the picnic chapter in my All Seasons Vegan Cookbook however it has no nuts/cashews or nutritional yeast. If your feeling the spring and summer vibes I added shredded coconut to the pie shell to give it that tropical taste. If you decide to use real key limes then measure 1/4 cup of juice and as for the zest, grate 4 key limes. Enjoy this quick and easy to make recipe!
