Vegan Key Lime Pie FAQs

Can a lime be zested without a citrus zester?

Yes. The easiest way to zest a lime is with a citrus zester, but you can use a cheese grater or a sharp knife if you don't have one.

Before making the crust do I use a no-stick spray on the pie pan?

No. The vegan butter in the crust will prevent the crust from sticking to the pan.

I don't have xanthan gum. Can I still make this key lime pie recipe?

Yes. The xanthan gum helps to thicken the filling, but if you don't have it on hand, you can still make the key lime pie. It may be a little runnier than with the xanthan gum, but it will still be delicious.

Do I have to have a food processor to crush up the digestive cookies?

No, you have to have a food processor, but it does make crushing up the cookies easier. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or crush them by hand. Make sure the cookies are crushed as small as possible to create a nice smooth, easy to form crust.

If I don't have vegan butter, is there something else I can use?

Yes. You may substitute the butter with melted coconut oil if you don't have any vegan butter on hand.
