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
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!
