Key limes are known for their super tart and bitter taste. When used to make a Key lime pie, the pucker from the lime juice is met with a creamy texture and the crunch of the graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

1 graham cracker crust, dairy-free, homemade or store-bought
2 (12 1/3-ounce) boxes silken tofu, extra firm, drained
1/4 cup lime puree, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon lime zest, optional
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Preparation

Gather the ingredients.
Prepare the dairy-free graham cracker crust, baking the crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Allow the crust to cool completely.
In a blender, combine the tofu, lime puree, zest (if using), sugar, salt, and cornstarch.
Process for several minutes, or until smooth and thick.
Pour into the prepared pie crust and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serve from the freezer, garnished with lime wedges if desired.

What toppings can be added to lime pie?

Lime pie can be served plain or topped with whipped cream or meringue. Some variations also include garnishes like lime zest or slices for extra flavor and presentation.
