Vegan Cashew Cream Lime Pie {gluten-free}

No-bake vegan cashew cream lime pie is pure citrus bliss! Bright with lime flavor, it is easy to make, gluten-free, and Paleo, too.

No-Bake Lime Pie Made with Cashew Cream

The resolutions I made in January, and haven’t been keeping, have a second chance, because today marks the start of the Thai New Year, Songkran.

Songkran is an ancient celebration of the start of a new farming cycle, and it always falls sometime between the 10th and the 18th of April; this year, the celebration starts on the thirteenth (today!) and lasts for three days.

To inaugurate the festivities here at Power Hungry, I offer a Thai-inspired lime and coconut, no-bake pie that is actually vegan! It is also scandalously delicious.

Although this pie is packed with nutritious ingredients, I may have to being my renewed resolutions in a few days (once this pie is gone :)).

How to Make Vegan Cashew Cream

If you are wondering how it is possible to make a luscious, creamy, no-bake pie without any dairy, the answer in this case is raw cashews. They are soaked until very soft, then pureed into a rich luscious cream that can be used for all kinds of purposes, including pie.

The cashews can be blended with water or any variety of nondairy milk to make the cream. For this Thai-inspired pie, I chose coconut milk (the canned variety).

Once the cashew cream is prepared, making the pie filling is as simple as stirring in some flavor, specifically, ginger and lime, plus maple syrup for sweetness. The filling is poured into a grain-free crust (made with coconut and almond).

After a few hours of chilling, your dream pie is ready for eating. Happy Thai New Year!
