This famous pie hails from the Florida Keys, where key limes grow prolifically. These limes are smaller, thinner skinned, and more tart and aromatic than regular limes. With an added touch of lime essential oil, I actually prefer this Vegan Key Lime Pie recipe to the dairy versions I have had in the past.
Limes are a power-packed citrus fruit with numerous health benefits. Loaded with vitamin C and other nutrients, these little fruits support liver, cardiovascular, digestive, immune, and neurological health. Fresh limes and lime essential oil add a delicious energetic tartness to beverages and other foods. In this vegan key lime pie, the combination of tartness, sweetness and creaminess creates a refreshing summer dessert few can resist.

Finally, remove pie from freezer, decorate with lime zest, and serve.
