Keto Coconut Cream Pies

I usually never have a sweet tooth, but today it was out in full force. I was craving coconut cream pie… badly! I didn’t want to make a whole pie, so I figured making individual sizes in ramekins would be best and they turned out amazing.

The hardest part about this recipe was the custard. I tried making a slurry (thickener) using coconut flour instead of using xanthan gum. I figured not only would the flour thicken the custard, but it would also give it a bit more of a coconut taste. It turned out pretty well! I’ll go over how to make the slurry below.

If you don’t have coconut flour, you can use xanthan gum to thicken instead, just use roughly ⅛ teaspoon.

Comments

  1. What size are the ramekins?

  2. Timothy Kelty says

    If I’m using Swerve, which measures 1-1 with sugar, should I double it?

  3. Ali Lvonnow says

    >I don’t see where you add in the sugar substitute to the custard mixture….
    Please help, making this now, i can’t wait to actually taste it!!!!

    • You just add it in while you’re cooking. I’m so sorry I missed this comment.

      • It didn’t say to add it while cooking (per below). Recipe error. It also needs to tell the readers the crust is unbaked one would think.

        Separate your eggs and place the yolks into a bowl. It’s time to make the slurry
        Whisk in your coconut flour, followed by the water. You should have a thick, coconut & egg mixture
        Stir in your vanilla to the cream on the stove.
        Pour or spoon the slurry into the cream as well.
        Using a whisk, stir often until the mixture thickens.

  4. Chad Goossen says

    Thanks for this! So is the crust unbaked?

  5. Hi, I give it a 4/5 due to slight grittiness from coconut flour. I would tell ppl to use a small amount of xanthum gum instead like you suggested as a substitute. Also I decreased your recipe by half and the pudding seems very scantily even though my ramekins are the smallest available. I also put some coconut flakes in the pudding to offset the grittiness and I tablespoon of butter. I added the vanilla extract and butter after taking off the flame. I also baked the crust and added 1tablespoon more almond flour in order to roll into a ball and put in ramekins. Thanks for this recipe!
