The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic offers an interesting twist to key lime pie with a gluten and dairy free, vegan recipe in Divabetic’s newest Mystery Podcast: Kill Me Madam available on demand.
His creamy dreamy vegan key lime pie is made with a crunchy pecan pie crust. When making this recipe it’s best to use a food processor or blender to get pecans very finely chopped. They need to be in tiny pieces so that they form a crust to hold together all of that delicious pie flavor. Enjoy!
Kill Me Madam Key Lime Pie Recipe
Pie Filling Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 4-6 hours or overnight, then drained)
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
3-4 large limes juiced (3-4 limes yield ~1/2 cup juice)
1 tbsp lime zest
1/2 cup agave nectar
Pie Crust Ingredients:
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
For the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crush pecans finely using a food processor until you achieve a fine meal.
Add butter and monk fruit sweetener to crushed pecans and pulse until all of the ingredients are mixed throughly
Grease a pie pan then add crust mixture.
Grease the back of a spoon and use it to carefully smooth the pecan mixture in the bottom of the pie pan and up the sides.
Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool.
For the Filling:
In a blender (but you can also use a hand mixer) blend the raw cashews, coconut milk, coconut oil, lime juice, lime zest and agave nectar until the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime zest/juice for more tart, or more agave for added sweetness.
Pour filling mixture into pecan crust and set aside.
Spread the homemade whipped cream on top of the key lime layer.
Freeze your key lime pie for 2 hours before serving or until it sets up.
There’s a good indication that murder might be part of the recipe when Nantucket’s ten time reigning Baking Champion’s last name is ‘Coffin’. But resentment, greed and Britannia’s own bad dealings turn everyone into a suspect when she’s found dead in the parking lot just before the Annual Decadents on Deck! Bake Off competition is about to kick off.
