Equipment

  • 7 inch Springform Cake Tin or Pie Tin
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

Gluten-Free Shortcrust Pastry

  • 120 g Ground Almonds (1.5 cup)
  • 60 g Oat Flour (⅔ cup)
  • 2 tbsp Agave or Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
  • A pinch of salt

Vegan Key Lime Pie Filling

  • 1 tin Full-Fat Coconut Milk 400ml
  • 80 g Agave or Maple Syrup (¼ cup)
  • 2 Limes zest and juice
  • 30 g Cornflour (3 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp Matcha optional

Instructions
 

Gluten-Free Shortcrust Pastry

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / 160°C fan and grease a springform cake tin or pie tin.
  • Add all of your crust ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until combined. The mixture should be quite wet.
  • Press the mixture into your tin, making sure there are no holes or cracks. Press the crust up around the edges to create a pie shell.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.

Vegan Key Lime Pie Filling

  • Add all of your filling ingredients to a saucepan and whisk until smooth.
  • Heat on low-medium heat, stirring regularly to avoid burning. Stir until thickened - this should take around 10 minutes.
  • Pour the filling into your baked pie crust then cover the top with some clingfilm or parchment paper to avoid a film forming on top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  • Top with lime zest and whipped cream or coconut yoghurt.
