Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Make the crust: Combine the coconut flour and powdered erythritol in medium sized bowl.
- Add the melted butter and combine. Add the egg and combine using a spatula.
- The crust should come together as a dough. Transfer dough to a 8 inch spring form pan and flatten it out to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Poke several holes in the crust with a fork and place on the lined baking sheet. On the other half of the baking sheet place the 3/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes to toast (used in filling and topping).
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. At the 5 point mark remove the flakes and set aside in a bowl - they should have browned - and place the crust back in the oven for the remaining 10 minutes.
- Set the crust aside to cool and lower the oven temp to 300 degrees.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl combine the coconut cream of an entire can (13.66 oz), heavy cream, vanilla extract, liquid stevia and powdered erythritol. Combine using a hand mixer.
- Add the eggs, coconut flour and 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut flakes and combine once more.
- Grease the sides of the spring form pan (we like to use coconut oil spray) with the cooled crust and poor the filling onto the crust.
- Bake for 70 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for 30 minutes and then place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
- Make the topping: Whip the heavy cream into stiff peaks.
- Add the stevia and combine. Place in the fridge alongside the pie.
- Make the pie: Top the chilled pie with the heavy cream topping and spread evenly. Top the cream with the remaining (1/4 cup) toasted coconut flakes and gently press into the cream. Refrigerate for another hour prior to serving.
- Coconut Milk Tip: Place the coconut milk can in the freezer for 5 minutes prior to using in the filling. This will separate the hardened cream from the liquid. The liquid contains all of the sugars.

LOW CARB COCONUT CREAM PIE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix the flour, coconut and salt with the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Really press it in there and push it up the sides of the pan. It should be a nice compact crust, covering the entire base and sides of the pan. Bake for about 12 minutes (or until nice and toasty brown). Set a timer. This one goes from white to burnt quickly, once it starts to brown. When it's toasted, remove from the oven and set on a rack to cool. Set up a wide mouthed pot with boiling water (or the base for a double boiler). I don't have a double boiler, so I'm going to place a bowl over the water. This will serve as the base for a double boiler. In a separate saucepan, bring your coconut milk and cream up to the lowest possible simmer (has a tendency to want to boil over and some coconut milks are fragile and want to separate ... you really just want this to be hot). Combine your sweetener and salt with your xanthan gum. Mix them together, so that the xanthan is evenly distributed throughout the sugar equivalent (helps to prevent clumping ... if you're using a liquid sweetener, combine your xanthan with the 1 cup of shredded coconut and add it with the sweetener in a few steps, rather than at the end). Place your egg yolks and optional coconut extract into a non-reactive metal bowl with a diameter just a bit wider than the mouth of the pot of boiling water (or just use the top of the double boiler). Whisk your egg yolks, until they have a lemony color. Add a little bit of the hot liquid into the egg yolks, while whisking. This will "temper" the eggs. Keep whisking, while adding more of the hot liquid, adding a little more and a little faster, each moment. You want to add and whisk, to incorporate the hot liquid, without creating scrambled eggs. Once all the liquid has been incorporated, add your sweetener/xanthan mix, and whisk it in. Place your bowl over the mouth of the boiling water and continue to whisk. Make sure you whisk well and around the edges of the bowl, or else you'll develop cooked/scrambled eggs around the edge of the bowl. If the bowl gets too hot, remove it from the heat for a moment, and keep whisking. You can alternate the location of the bowl, slowly raising the heat of the egg mixture to about 165 F. While always whisking, you can add to the top of the pot, and remove, add back and remove. Once the mixture reaches about 165 F, has no frothy bubbles and is noticeably thick, you can add the cup of shredded coconut. Mix this evenly into the custard. Remove from the heat and pour the custard into the pie crust. Refrigerate the pie crust for about 8 hours, or until firm. Once the pie is firm, top it with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
