Recipe Variations

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
- 3
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- 4
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- 5
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, turmeric powder, plant-based milk, and maple syrup.
- 6
Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and pour into the cooled pie crust.
- 7
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- 8
Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- 9
Spread the aquafaba meringue over the lemon filling, ensuring the meringue touches the edges of the crust to prevent shrinking.
- 10
Bake the pie in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the meringue is lightly browned.
- 11
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
