Ingredients
  

For the Crust

For the Filling

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1.5 scoops vegan vanilla protein powder
  • 400 ml soy milk
  • Zest of 2 lemons

For topping

  • ¼ cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

Instructions
 

  • First, mix the ingredients for your crust, then push it down into a greased pan.
  • Bake at 350f for 20 minutes until slightly golden.
  • In the meantime, make your lemon filling by whisking together all the ingredients until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until it becomes super thick - about 5-10 minutes!
  • Pour your lemon filling over your crust and flatten it out with a spatula, then press your coconut into the filling while it is still warm so it sticks to the filling.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to cool and enjoy!
