No-bake vegan key lime pie

These vegan key lime pie jars are ultra creamy, luscious and so bright and fresh – no dairy products needed! We use a cashew base to create the same creamy, cheese-cake like texture that is DIVINE. The key limes add the brightest flavor and tang and it’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

Vegan key lime pie Ingredients

• Cookies or graham crackers – I love using these Toasted Pecan Cookies from Simple Mills. They taste like graham crackers while being made with wholesome ingredients!
• Cashews – raw cashews make the base of the vegan “cheesecake” filling. It creates a super luscious, creamy texture while being neutral in flavor!
• Key limes – Key limes, which are known for being particularly aromatic, are typically sweeter in taste than typical limes, making them a perfect ingredient for the refreshing pie they’re most known for!
• Maple syrup – honey can also be used, but keep in mind it’ll give a slight honey flavor.
• Coconut oil – this helps firm the key lime filling up a bit. You can also use avocado oil.
• Pantry staples: vanilla extract, sea salt
• Coconut whipped topping – I love using store bough (So Delicious is incredible!) but you can also use homemade whipped cream.

Step by Step How to make no-bake vegan Key Lime Pies

1. Make the cookie base – simply add the cookies/crackers to a food processor along with the coconut oil. Process a minute or so until it resembles a sand-like consistency. Divide amongst the cups.
2. Make the key lime pie filling – add all of the ingredients to a blender, blending until smooth. Taste & adjust as you’d like. Divide the filling amongst the jars, covering the cookie layer.
3. Freeze – place the jars in the freezer to firm up, at least 4 hours.
4. When ready to serve, top with coconut whipped topping & key lime zest. Enjoy!

How to serve Individual key lime pies

This vegan key lime pie is perfect topped with homemade vegan coconut whipped cream. I also like to add some fresh lime zest. White chocolate shavings would also be great!

Best Key Lime Pie tips

• Use Key Limes! These are naturally sweeter and less acidic than typical limes and they really make a difference!
• Let the jars thaw 10 minutes or so prior to serving for the creamiest, cheesecake-like texture.
• Store in the freezer!
