Coconut Custard Pie - S

Coconut Custard Pie

1 cup of Unsweetened Coconut

4 Eggs

1/2 tsp of Salt

1 can of Full Fat Coconut Milk

(or 1 3/4 cup of milk of choice)

*1/4 cup of Xylitol

1/2 tsp of Coconut Extract, optional

Sweeten coconut to taste and toast in a pie pan in oven at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes, stirring several times. It will not be fully toasted.

In blender add 1/2 of the toasted coconut and all the rest of the ingredients. Blend on low for a few minutes.

Pour into a buttered pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the other half of the coconut on top and finish baking, about 10 more minutes.

If you'd like serve with a few frozen berries. After I took this picture, I smashed them with my fork and put them on top of the pie. Oh My Word! Did that ever take it to another level!

Enjoy!

* You may need more sweetener

Special Occasion Coconut Cake - S

I wanted a coconut cake last year for Easter. It was my first holiday on THM and I knew I would NEED a good THM dessert to keep me from diving for the other Easter goodies we were having. It worked! I'll be making it again this year.

Special Occasion Coconut Cake - S

1 recipe of the Special Occasion Chocolate Cake

recipe from the Trim Healthy Mama Book

(page 384)

omit the cocoa powder

1-2 tsp of Coconut Extract, optional

Mix and Bake cake as directed (remember to omit the cocoa powder!)

I baked mine in two 8'' round cake pans.

1 recipe of Icing for Cake Serene's Superfood Option

(page 385)

omit the cocoa powder

Instead of using stevia extract powder, I would use xylitol or erythritol for 

the sweetener, because you're going to need a little more powder verses 

liquid ingredients to achieve a better icing consistency.

(or you could try powdering a little unsweetened coconut to equal 1/2 cup

I think this would work great.)

Spread a little icing between layers before Icing cake.

1 cup of Unsweetened Coconut

(more or less)

Sweeten with stevia and toast on stove top or in oven.

Press onto side and top of Iced cake.
