How to Make Our Keto Coconut Cream Pie
Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the ⅓ cup shredded coconut for the topping onto a small baking sheet. Bake for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden. Watch closely—it browns fast. Set aside to cool.
Bake your keto pie crust for 15–18 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Allow it to cool completely.
Make the Filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the coconut cream and heavy cream until hot but not boiling.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sweetener until frothy and smooth.
Slowly temper the eggs by whisking in one ladle of the hot cream mixture. Add a second ladle, whisking constantly. Then pour everything back into the saucepan.
Lower the heat and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, whisking often, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the surface and whisk well to combine. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, vanilla extract, and coconut extract until smooth.
Fold in the shredded coconut. Let the filling cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Make the Topping
In a very cold bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sweetener and continue whipping until light, fluffy, and stable.
Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with the toasted coconut just before serving.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- This pie is best served chilled for clean slices and full flavor.
- Not freezer-friendly—the custard texture changes when thawed.
Tips & FAQs
Can I use canned coconut milk instead of coconut cream?
Yes, but the filling will be slightly thinner. Choose full-fat canned coconut milk for best results.
Is this dessert completely sugar-free?
Yes, when made with monk fruit or allulose, it’s 100% sugar-free and keto-approved.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely. This pie actually tastes better the next day after fully setting overnight.
How do I keep the custard smooth?
Whisk constantly while cooking and temper the eggs slowly to avoid scrambling.
