Easy to prepare using pantry staples and natural gelling agents, this pie offers a bright twist perfect for any occasion, from casual treats to festive gatherings.


Ingredients

Filling

  • Fresh Baby Lemons – juice and zest of 4 baby lemons
  • Plant-Based Sweetened Condensed Milk – 1 cup
  • Heavy Plant-Based Cream – 3/4 cup
  • Natural Gelling Agent – 1 teaspoon
  • Pure Vanilla Extract (natural) – 1 teaspoon
  • Granulated Sugar – 1/3 cup
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Apple Cider Vinegar – 1 teaspoon

Crust

  • Pre-made Pie Crust (plant-based) – 1 (9-inch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the plant-based pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and gently press to fit evenly. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the Lemony Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed baby lemon juice, granulated sugar, and plant-based sweetened condensed milk until the sugar dissolves completely. Stir in heavy plant-based cream, pure vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to balance the flavors.
  3. Incorporate Natural Gelling Agent: Gradually sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the lemon mixture while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once fully combined, let the mixture rest for a few minutes.
  4. Bake the Impossible Pie: Pour the lemon filling evenly into the cooled crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  5. Chill and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the pie to set fully. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and even texture.
  • Fresh baby lemons provide the best flavor over bottled lemon juice.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time for proper setting and flavor development.
  • Add the natural gelling agent slowly while whisking to prevent lumps.
  • The pie’s center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid when checking doneness.
