- 1 9 inch graham cracker crust homemade or store bought
- 1 ½ cups golden potatoes cubed
- 1 cup cashews soaked
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 cup water
- 2 and ½ teaspoons agar powder buy here
- ⅔ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¾ cup sugar vegan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Prepare the Crust. Or use a store bought if you prefer. Boil the cubed potatoes and cashews for 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and set aside.
Add 1 cup of water to a small saucepan and sprinkle in agar powder. Simmer over medium heat until agar is dissolved and mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a couple minutes.
Add agar mixture, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, potatoes, cashews, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to a high speed blender. Blend until very well incorporated and mixture is super smooth.
Pour into prepared pie crust. If filling is warm from the blender, allow it to cool. Then cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
Garnish with non-dairy whipped cream and lemon slices.
Happy Eating!
If you prefer a less sweet pie, start with a half a cup of sugar and taste after the filling is blended. Add more if desired.
Try replacing half the sugar with Stevia for a healthier pie.
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just note that the crust will not be as firm.
