MINI KETO COCONUT CREAM PIE
This mini keto coconut cream pie is one of the most delicious pies you will ever eat and you won't even notice that it's keto! It is made with a gluten-free shortbread crust, a creamy coconut filling, and topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
Ingredients
CRUST
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Unsalted Melted Butter
- ⅛ tsp Sweetener
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
FILLING
- 2 Large Egg + 1 Egg Yolk
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- ¾ cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Sweetener
- ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum
TOPPING
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ cup Powdered Sweetener
- ½ tsp Vanilla
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
Instructions
CRUST
- Whisk your almond flour, salt, sweetener and cinnamon until well combine.
- Mix in your melted butter and then evenly spoon your mixture into 12 lined muffin tins.
- Poke holes into the dough mixture and bake at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
FILLING
- Add your coconut milk, salt and heavy cream to a pot and bring to a simmer on medium low heat.
- In a bowl, whisk your eggs, egg yolk and sweetener until well combined.
- Temper the eggs by slowing adding a large spoonful or 1/4 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture and whisk constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Repeat until you have added all the milk to the egg mixture.
- Add your egg mixture back to the pot and simmer on medium low heat for about 5 minutes. Stir constantly until it thickens or coats the back of your spoon.
- Sprinkle in your xanthan gum and whisk briskly until well combined.
- Remove from heat and add your butter, vanilla, and shredded coconut.
- Cool your filling, stirring periodically to avoid a skin from forming on the surface.
- Once cooled, add your filling to your crust.
- Cover with plastic wrap, store in an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
TOPPING
- To make your topping, add your heavy cream to a bowl and whipped to stiff peaks. Then quickly whisk in your powdered sweetener and vanilla.
- Toast your shredded coconuts at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Once your coconut has cooled, add your whipped cream to your coconut cream pie and top with your shredded coconut.
Notes
I initially bake this with 6 shortbread crust for 10 minutes, but the crust raised quite a bit and was enough to split and make 12. If starting off with 12, start off baking it for 5 minutes and increase the time until the edges start to brown.
