Equipment
- Food Processor I love this mini food processor as it is way easier to handle in the kitchen, especially for quick keto dessert recipes such as this.
- Mini Pie Dishes These one's I linked would be great when you have whipped cream or berries since they are deeper.
Ingredients
- 1/2-3/4 cup Macadamia Nuts Depends on How thick you want your crust.
- 1 tbsp Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener I prefer the golden granules which I have linked here.
- 1/2 tsp Wild Pink Himalayn Salt I prefer my crust a bit salty to contrast the sweetness of the filling so if you don't just add a pinch to the crust.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Coconut Créme Pie Filling
- 1 3/4 cup Frozen or Fresh Young Coconut Meat
- 2-3 Tbsp Coconut Milk I make my own with coconut powder by adding 4 ounces water to 3 tbs of cocontu powder for a thick coconut milk. But a bpa canned variety will be fine.
- 2 tbsp Grass Fed Beef Gelatin Powder Dissolve in a small amount of water
- 2-4 tbsp Hot Water to Dissolve
Vegan Gel Option
- 2-3 tbsp Irish Moss Gel To make Irish moss gel see below.
- 1-2 droppers Omica Stevia You can either use stevia to sweeten or monkfruit.
- 2 tbsp Golden Monk Fruit Granules Use this if you don't have stevia.
- 1 tsp fresh ground vanilla bean
- 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Quick Keto Dessert Pie Crust
- In a food processor combine well the Macadamia nuts, Monk Fruit Granules, Salt and Vanilla Extract.
- Press into two mini pie dishes. Depending on the size of your mini dishes it may fill more than two. I like it to be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Put them in the freezer to set while you work on the coconut creme filling.
Quikc Keto Dessert Coconut Créme Pie Filling
- Dissolve beef gelatin in the hot water and set aside.
- In the vitamix blender add the fresh or thawed out young coconut meat, vanilla extract, vanilla powder and sweetner of choice.
- Add in 2-3 tbs of coconut milk and begin to blend.
- Slowly add in the beef gelatin until you get a nice consistency and the blender is fully creating a vortex with the filling. Check to see the taste is to your liking. Add more sweetener if desired.
- Get out your mini pie dishes from the freezer and with a spatula add the filling.
- Now you can top with any toppings such as the freeze dried fig granules or berries.
- To make toasted coconut you can simply put a 1/4 cup of coconut flakes on a baking sheet and toast at 325 for 3-4 minutes.
- Put in the freezer to set for 5-10 minutes. For long storage wrap them and keep in refrigerator.
Irish Moss Gel Substitute
- Irish Moss Gel will require more time and is a good item to keep stored in your refrigerator but essentially soaked and rinse it overnight. Once it is cleaned well you add 20 grams of the sea moss to about 1 cup of water and blend on high.
- You would then add 2-3 tbs of the Irish Moss Gel instead of beef gelatin.
