Ingredients
Keto Coconut Cream Pie Filling
- 13.5 ounces unsweetened coconut milk, can
- 13.5 ounces of coconut cream
- 1/3 cup of heavy cream
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar substitute
- 2 large whole eggs, room temperature
- 2 egg yolks, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of coconut extract
- 3 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups of toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, reserve 2 tablespoons for top of the pie
Coconut Crust
- 1/2 cup of unsalted melted butter, cooled
- 2 large whole eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup of coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar substitute
Whipped Cream
- 1 ounce of full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup of sugar substitute
Instructions
Coconut Crust
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave and allow it to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the coconut flour, salt, cooled melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press the pie dough into a 9-inch pan, making sure to allow the crust to come up the sides. Note: Wetting your hands will make it easier to pat the crust into the pie plate.
- Bake the pie shell for 15-20 minutes in a 360-degree oven until lightly brown. If the crust starts to brown to quickly you can add foil around the pie edges.
Toasted Coconut
- Oven: pre-heat the oven 350-degrees. Spread the unsweetened coconut flakes evenly on a dry cookie sheet. Allow the coconut flakes to toast for 8-10 minutes, being sure to stir at the 5-minute mark to make sure it is evenly toasted. Set aside.
- Skillet: To toast your coconut in a skillet, just set the stove to medium-low heat and spread
the coconut evenly in the skillet being sure to stir until the coconut is lightly brown. This can happen rather quickly, 5 minutes or less so keep a watchful eye
on the skillet. Set aside.
Keto Coconut Cream Filling
- In a 1 1/2 quart heavy bottom saucepan whisk over medium heat and bring to a slow simmer the coconut milk, coconut cream, heavy cream, sweetener, eggs, egg yolks, and coconut extract.
- Continue to stir not allowing the mixture to come to a rapid boil.
- Once the milk mixture comes to a slow simmer, sprinkle
the unflavored gelatin into the mixture being sure to whisk continuously. - Add the toasted coconut flakes into filling and continue to mix and cook the pie filling until it starts to thicken about 5-7 minutes. Note that the mixture will continue to thicken once it is allowed to chill completely in the refrigerator.
- Allow the mixture to cool for about 15-20 minutes before
adding it to the baked and cooled crust. Place your pie in the refrigerator and allow the pie to fully chill and set about 4 hours or overnight.
- In a large chilled bowl using an electric mixer, combine the sugar substitute and cream cheese.
- To this mixture add the heavy whipping cream beating the cream until soft peak form.
- Once the coconut cream pie is allowed to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight spread the whipped cream to top the pie and then sprinkle the reserved two tablespoons of toasted coconut flakes to the top of the pie.
- Store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Allow the mixture to cool for about 15-20 minutes before
