How sweet it is! Welcome to your healthy, happening, hip springtime dessert where flavor is joy.
Citrus desserts have such a refreshing taste to them and fit perfectly with the warmer seasons. When made in a healthy way, they can also be beneficial to your body. And if made with simplicity in mind, they are definitely a win. This key lime pie recipe is delicious, healthy, and simple! All the awesome in one place!
Most key lime pies are made with unhealthy, sweetened condensed milk. This pie is made with soaked cashews, which gives it a creamy, delicious taste. Cashews are also rich in healthy fats as well as vitamins E, K, and B6.
Coconut milk and coconut oil also help with the creaminess. Coconut milk is high in vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5, and B6 and other essential minerals like iron and calcium. Coconut oil also has healthy fats that help promote heart health and lower risk of heart disease.
The crust of this pie is a simple vegan graham cracker crust that can be baked for a few minutes or refrigerated for an hour. You can easily sub any crust that is your favorite, however.
This recipe really takes no time at all to put together, and before you know it, you’ll be enjoying this delicious dessert for any celebration!
