If anyone has a better idea for a title, this one’s a little iffy…

I found a new yogurt flavor (alpro lemon-lime) that tastes just like key lime pie to me. I’d like to make it into an actual pie, but it’s a bit too runny.

I’d prefer to avoid cooking the yogurt, so I figured corn starch, flour, and tapioca would all be out. I could do chia seeds, but I don’t necessarily want that texture.

Any ideas?

      Yeah, otherwise I’d just make a key lime pie. I’m an experienced baker, but don’t have a big sweet tooth, so I haven’t done much non-bread baking lately and am pretty new to (and somewhat apprehensive of) vegan patisserie.

      Agar is only going to work if you heat it. Xanthan gum might be the best alternative here that requires no heating. It’ll certainly make it more viscous, but might result in a less than appealing texture. I’d experiment with maybe heating a xanthan gum and agar mix, then removing from heat and stirring in the yogurt. I dunno, requires playing around depending on desired results.

      I wouldnt advise it. You tend to end up with a ‘gloopy’ rather than ‘thick’ consistency.
