Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- Plant-based pie crust (enough to line a standard pie dish)
Filling
- Juice and zest of fresh lemons (about 3-4 lemons)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or other natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Roll out the plant-based pie crust to fit a standard pie dish. Press it gently into the dish ensuring even coverage and trim any excess edges. Prick the bottom using a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine fresh lemon juice and zest with sugar, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and cornstarch or a natural gelling agent. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the luscious filling into the prepared crust. Place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden, about 45 to 50 minutes.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the filling firm up perfectly for clean, luscious slices.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice carefully, garnish as desired with fresh lemon zest or plant-based whipped cream, and savor the fresh, tangy flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh lemons for the brightest, most natural citrus flavor.
- Do not skip chilling to achieve the perfect sliceable texture.
- Mix the filling well to avoid lumps and ensure a silky smooth consistency.
- Watch the oven towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning the crust.
- Choose a high-quality plant-based crust for best flavor and structure.
