Keto Coconut Cream Pies

Keto Recipes > Keto Dessert Recipes

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.
