Chocolate-Coated Key Lime-Coconut Creme Pie [Vegan]

This pie is a combination of coconut creme and key lime so the tangy lime has been tamed somewhat – feel free to up the amount of juice (reducing the other liquids to compensate) or add more lime zest. The hint of chocolate and the crunch of the toasted coconut and cacao nibs is a wonderful counterpart to the creaminess of the “custard.”

How to Prepare Chocolate-Coated Key Lime-Coconut Creme Pie [Vegan]

For the crust

Pour the walnuts into the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.

For the chocolate coating

Line a small baking pan or dish with aluminum foil. Set aside.

In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and chocolate.

When smooth, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, Choffy (cacao nibs), and toasted coconut.

Spread about half of the mixture along the bottom and up the sides of the prepared crust.

On the prepared baking sheet, drop melted chocolate to form small disks – you aren’t going for perfection here. Put baking sheet and crust in the ‘frige while you prepare the filling.

For the filling

In a small saucepan, bring the coconut milk, water and agar to a boil. Boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, combine the lime zest, silken tofu, lime juice, maple syrup, stevia liquid and arrowroot mixture in a food processor and process until very smooth. When the coconut milk mixture is ready, pour it into the food processor and pulse a few times to incorporate it into the tofu mixture. Pour into the prepared crust and refrigerate until firm.

Serve garnished with disks of coconut-Choffy-chocolate on top.
