Vegan key lime pie that's entirely grain-free, paleo-friendly, and refined sugar-free bursting with the flavors of bright citrus and luscious coconut. This healthy key lime pie recipe comes together with minimal effort, no baking required.
I always associate key lime pie with early spring, when I get antsy for fruit desserts but there's still not much in season. Enter lime pie, with its bright hue and sunny taste chasing away the dregs of winter. Macadamia nuts, cashews, and coconut all whisper of tropical vacations and sunny beaches.
When I first moved to San Francisco, I ate many slices of raw vegan key lime pie and coconut cream pie at Cafe Gratitude. I liked to order one slice of each, and then enjoy them together. The zesty lime broke up the richness of the coconut, while the creamy coconut softened the tartness of the lime.
Then after I shared a no-bake lemon tart several years ago, I immediately started plotting a coconut-lime version of it. It was worth the wait! So today I present to you this vegan key lime pie recipe accented with a toasted coconut crust, a coconut-cashew key lime filling, and a coconut yogurt topping. It's tangy, creamy, bright, and so satisfying.
I hope you love it as much as we do!
