Coconut Cream Pie is one of those desserts that seems perfect for the spring and summer months! However, for a coconut lover like me, it is certainly good any time of the year! I adapted this recipe from one posted on
Today’s Mama to make it more allergy friendly. It does have almond flour in the crust but you could easily make a crust with all coconut flour.
Basic Directions:
Put all the dry ingredients for the crust in a food processor then pulse to mix. Next, add all the wet ingredients and run processor until well combined.
Press all the ingredients into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan and bake.
While the crust is baking, mix coconut with stevia then toast it for your topping.
Make your custard.
Let everything cool and add custard to crust then sprinkle with toasted coconut! Finally, enjoy!
