This was by far the best key lime pie I’ve ever had vegan or non, I didn’t use the coconut milk and heated the mixture in my blender until it was the desire consistency. I’m going to try this recipe again but sub key lime for lemon, do you think it’ll work?
Oh wow. I’m so glad you love it, Alex. Lemon should work great with it. Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Would using condensed coconut milk be an alright substitute for the normal coconut milk + coconut oil + maple syrup do you think? I have a couple cans of the stuff and am trying to find uses for it.
I think you’d be ok with that. Let me know how it turns out.
Should any leftover pie be refrigerated or put back in the freezer?
The Freezer. It would be too thawed out in the fridge.
