Ingredients
Crust
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup low carb sugar substitute
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup coconut flour sifted
- ⅓ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Filling
- 13 ounces canned coconut milk
- 3 egg yolks
- ½ cup low carb sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut to toast
- 1 teaspoon grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons low carb sugar substitute
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
Instructions
Crust
- Melt butter in large bowl.
- Add almond flour, eggs, sweetener, and salt to butter mix well.
- Stir in coconut flour and shredded coconut until a dough forms.
- Roll out dough between parchment or wax paper.
- Take top sheet of paper off dough and invert into a pie pan.
- 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.
Filling
- Heat coconut milk until hot, but not boiling. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks in a small bowl with a fork until well blended.
- When coconut milk is hot, slowly add about 4 tablespoons to egg yolks, stirring quickly with a fork after each small addition.
- Pour yolk mixture slowly into hot coconut milk.
- Reduce heat to low, then gently sprinkle and whisk in sweetener and xanthan gum.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes or until thickened, then remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Spoon into medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly on so skin won't form. Place filling in refrigerator to chill at least 4 hours.
- Spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast in 375°F oven just until golden (about 3-5 minutes). Remove and allow to cool on rack.
- Pour one tablespoon water in a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin on top. Once gelatin has softened, stir in 1 tablespoon hot water until all gelatin has dissolved.
- With an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream with the 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3 tablespoons sweetener until soft peaks form. Slowly pour in dissolved gelatin mixture and beat cream until stiff.
- In large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the chilled coconut pudding, adding a small amount at a time until smooth.
- Fold in about half the whipped cream into the cream cheese pudding mixture until smooth.
- Spread coconut pudding cream mixture into the cooled crust. Top with the remaining whipped cream and sprinkle the toasted coconut on top.
- Chill for at least 4 hours.
