- Press to fix any cracked areas of crust and flute edges.
- Using a fork, poke small holes throughout the crust.
- Bake crust at 400°F for 10 minutes. Allow crust to cool.

REDUCED-FAT IMPOSSIBLE COCONUT PIE (SUGAR-FREE)
If you thought your days of coconut cream pie were over once you started that diet, then you haven't tried this recipe. It's more or a macaroon-custard-souffle than a "cream" pie, but it is delicious nonetheless. The best part? You don't even have to make a crust for it because it makes its own as it bakes. That's why it's called impossible!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 9-inch pie plate with butter flavored cooking spray.
- Beat Egg Beaters with milk and light butter. Add flour and Splenda and whisk until smooth. Stir in coconut and vanilla. Pour into pie plate.
- Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. I prefer to let it cool, then refrigerate it overnight before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
- *If you want this pie to be completely sugar free, you will have to purchase unsweetened coconut or shred your own. You might want to add some extra Splenda as well--to make up for the sugar that's in regular packaged coconut. Also, you can substitute 1 cup egg whites (about 6 or 7) for the Egg Beaters.
Tips:
- Use unsweetened coconut milk: This will help keep the pie sugar-free and low-carb.
- Use a sugar-free sweetener: There are many different sugar-free sweeteners available, so choose one that you like the taste of.
- Use a thickener: This will help the pie filling to set properly. You can use xanthan gum, guar gum, or arrowroot powder.
- Chill the pie before serving: This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This sugar-free coconut cream pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for people with diabetes or anyone who is looking for a low-carb treat. The pie is made with a creamy coconut filling and a flaky almond flour crust. It is then topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. This pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
