How to Prepare Chocolate Lime Mousse Pie [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  3. In a microwave or in a small saucepan, melt coconut oil and maple syrup and stir to combine. Pour over dry ingredients and stir well to form a dough that holds its shape when pressed.
  4. Press the dough evenly into a 10-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to keep it from puffing up during baking. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until the edges of the crust are firm. Let cool fully before filling.

To Make the Filling:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, lime zest, maple syrup, salt, and agar agar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve starch in lime juice and vanilla. Stir into the coconut milk mixture.
  3. Transfer the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and let cool for about 20 minutes, until comfortable to the touch but not fully set. With a balloon whisk attachment, beat the mixture to incorporate air, just a minute or two. Alternatively, let the mixture partially cool in the pan and pour directly into the crust without beating.
  4. Garnish with melted chocolate and lime zest.
