What You’ll Need

Gather these simple ingredients for your Keto Coconut Cream Pie:

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (for sweetening whipped cream)
Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted coconut oil, erythritol, and salt. Press the mixture into a pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the coconut milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the coconut custard mixture into the cooled crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until set.
Allow to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours; patience is key!
Before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered erythritol until soft peaks form. Spread over the top of the pie and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Feeling adventurous? Here are some delicious variations you can try to make this pie uniquely yours:

Chocolate Coconut Cream: Add a few tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the custard for a rich chocolatey twist.
Lemon Zest: Infuse the custard with the zest of a lemon for a zesty, refreshing layer that adds a bright contrast to the creaminess.
Peanut Butter Swirl: Drizzle some natural peanut butter into the custard before baking for a nutty richness that pairs beautifully with coconut.
Berry Bliss: Toss in a handful of fresh berries, like raspberries or blueberries, to create a vibrant pop of color and a bit of tartness.
