I wanted to make a key lime pie because I've never tried one. All of the recipes I could find had lots of fat, using eggs and cream cheese, or else they used heavily processed vegan cream cheese, pudding mix, and soy ingredients. I adapted this pie from a PETA recipe and I unveganized it because I do not use soy milk.
