I made this with my over abundance of summer squash. It was delicious. I used an allulose monk fruit blend. I’m diabetic so finding desserts that taste good and are low carb makes it a win. I’m wondering if there is a way to cut the fat, and what would be a good substitute. I eat low carb but need to watch fat intake.

Absolutely delish! Can this pie be frozen?

This should be called coconut custard pie. I followed the recipe exactly but did squeeze as much liquid out of my squash as I could get. It took an extra 10 min in the oven before it was done to my liking. Absolutely delish and you would never know you were eating yellow squash.

In reply to Dona. There is no HWC in this pie recipe.

I just put the pie in the oven and was scrolling through questions. Someone asked about swapping coconut cream for HWC? Didn’t see that in the recipe at all??

In reply to Ann. Coconut cream should work well in place of heavy cream in this recipe.

Hi, I am non- dairy, can I use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.

Looking forward to making this.

In reply to patricia. I've never used cornstarch as an egg replacement so it would need some testing.

Wow, this sounds so good and interesting! I can't have eggs though. Could I sub in cornstarch for the eggs....if so about how much? Thank you

In reply to Annette W.. Maybe using coconut oil instead of butter may up the coconut flavor? They also sell coconut flavoring that may give a stronger flavor.

If you have been keto for a while now your tastes have probably changed. I found this recipe too sweet for my liking. Think 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup of sweetener would suffice. Also, I would like a bit more coconut flavor so will consider increasing the extract or real coconut a bit. Not sure if the extra extract would make it bitter tho...??

In reply to Sarah. I don't use a crust for this recipe, but you could try the coconut flour one.
