In reply to Lori Jayhan. The filling is what can get gritty. I haven't found that to be an issue with the crust.

If you use exthyritol in the crust does it get gritty as it's a lot in that part of recipe? I usually use swerve as a substitute. Asking because of your comment in the notes about the filling. I'm a diabetic so no sugar for me other than a substitute. Looks delicious

In reply to Marie. Either should work in the recipe, but I used the kind in the carton.

In reply to Susan. Question - is the coconut milk, canned or from a carton? When I added the Xanthan gum to the blender (which seemed like already too much in any recipe unless it’s bread), it got really thick (too thick) - a big glob. Sorry, as an experienced baker, I won’t be making this recipe again.

In reply to Denise Siri. That's an old pin that is difficult to completely delete. You can use this coconut flour crust instead.

Your Pin says "Coconut Crust", but this has almond flour too. Many people who avoid nuts (I'm allergic to almonds) cannot use this recipe.

In reply to Susan. You're very welcome Susan! I do believe that cutting way back on carbs is best for those with diabetes. My mom is a type 2 and my brother is a type 1.

Just happened onto your website today and WOW, it's fantastic! I am a type 2 diabetic and am limited to 30 to 45 Gm of carbs per meal, but the fewer carbs the better. Many so-called diabetic recipes are still what I would call carb-dense. Your recipes make for truly guilt-free eating. Thank you!

In reply to Rebecca. It will be a bit thinner, but should be okay. I prefer subbing heavy cream with coconut cream instead which has more fat than the milk.

For the filling, could I use all coconut milk and remove the cream? I'm trying to avoid dairy.

In reply to Brian. It may have been the Swerve as it can crystallize. I'd recommend using less Swerve and adding in a non erythritol sweetener like stevia.
