Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 can coconut cream
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup key lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and brown sugar until the mixture has a sandy texture and holds together when pinched.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut cream, almond milk, key lime juice, lime zest, cornstarch, agar-agar, and maple syrup. Whisk continuously until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once it thickens, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and chilled.

Step 9

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with thin slices of lime or extra lime zest.
