Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup melted vegan butter
• 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk
• 1/2 cup key lime juice
• 1 tbsp key lime zest
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted vegan butter. Press mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie dish to form the crust.
3. Bake crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
4. In a blender, combine sweetened condensed coconut milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
5. Pour filling into the cooled crust and place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
6. In a saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and cold water. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then remove from heat.
7. In a separate bowl, beat aquafaba and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gradually add in granulated sugar and continue to beat until glossy.
8. Fold in the cornstarch mixture to the aquafaba meringue to create a fluffy topping.
9. Spread the meringue on top of the pie and use a kitchen torch to brown the top slightly, or bake in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
10. Chill the pie for another hour before serving. Enjoy!
