Keto Coconut Cream Pie Recipe

Some people really love coconut cream pie. Like, looooove it. If you’re one of them, you may be frustrated that it isn’t Keto. Not even a little.

Stop getting upset at your dietary restrictions and start making this Keto coconut cream pie recipe. It’s got a little something that’s super handy for Keto and good for you too!

Let’s Talk Flaxseed

Flaxseed is a generous provider of omega-3 fatty acids. That would be the good kind that most people don’t get enough of.

Flax also gets you a healthy dose of fiber. Although flaxseed has been credited with some positive health benefits, that’s not the only reason for including it in this Keto pie.

To make a pie crust that’s Keto, you need to get creative with the ingredients. Pie crust is normally a flour-filled food. Delicious, yes, but decidedly non-Keto.

Flax meal helps make a satisfying crust without the carbs or dairy. It adds fat and replaces the butter that would normally be used for pie crust.

Instead of white flour, I used a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. Almond flour is dense and also adds fat to the crust. Coconut flour is more light and airy.

Together they form the most perfect Keto crust.

Flaxseed or Flax Meal?

Flax can create confusion at the grocery store. It goes by many names.

Ground flaxseed is also referred to as flax meal, or even ground flaxseed meal. Basically, you just don’t want whole flaxseeds unless you’re signing up to grind them yourself.

Whether you buy ground flaxseed or flax meal or ground flaxseed meal, you’ll do well by this pie.

Storing Flax

Like people, some foods can be a little high maintenance. Flaxseed has a tendency to get rancid, so it’s best kept in the freezer.

If you grind your own flax, be sure to keep your leftovers tightly sealed in the freezer as well.

That’s where whole flaxseed has a bit of an advantage. The seeds can be kept at room temperature for up to a year as long as they’re whole.

Once ground, the cold, dark place rule applies.

How will you know if flaxseed is rancid? It stinks. If it hits your snout, throw it out.
