Vegan Key Lime Pie image

This is a recipe I've fine-tuned to my vegan mother's taste, which is quite the challenge considering her strict diet. So far, no one has noticed the avocados until I tell them, and the looks on their faces are priceless. It's entirely guilt-free, and an easy way to trick your carnivorous friends and family into eating healthy! Garnish pie with shredded coconut, if desired.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste. I would add a little more sugar next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as creamy as I expected.

I'm going to try making this pie with a gluten-free crust next time. I think it would be a great option for people with celiac disease.

The pie was a bit runny when I took it out of the oven. I think I needed to bake it for a few minutes longer.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I would try a different crust recipe next time.
