Easy Low Carb Blender Coconut Cream Pie-an oldie but goodie!!

[christyjo]

The NOW brand coconut that Netrition sells is 0.5 grams net carbs per tablespoon, so (math is most definitely not my forte) a cup would be 8 grams. 6 grams per cup for the cream, 0.4 grams each for the eggs. Granular Splenda has 24/cup, so 16 if using that sweetener. As written, the recipe would be around 38 grams. I used Sweetzfree instead of the granular Splenda, it turned out great. It was excellent cold. I really like sugar alcohols (and I know many people do not for various reasons) but I will try a blend next time to make it a bit more "sticky".

Wow, this thing is really good! And super easy. I can't believe I never saw it before. I always have all these ingredients.

Only problem is I MAY have control issues....

[Maid of Erin]

I love this thread. Two great looking recipes in here! Can't wait to try them.

[anipomoni]

Yeah this is more dangerous than I thought. It's easily something I could accidentally finish in one day! And that's way too much cream!!!

I was wondering if carb countdown milk can be substituted for the cream in this recipe, and if so how much would I use?

I am not sure, but it might not have the same powers as the "whipping" in the heavy cream. But always trial and error.. Let us know how it goes if you try it!

On the unsweetened coconut if anyone has a Winco grocery store, they have it their inthe barrels with all the bulk food items.

Bumping this thread up as it's still one of my all time favorite low carb recipes....

[lcsam]

Wow! 2 great recipes! Thanks!

I just did the math on this recipe because it sounds delicious and I'd love to try it in another week or two.

For the person who was asking for the carb count, the total is 40.4 carbs and if you cut the pie into 8 servings it would be 5 carbs per slice.

Ohhh, should mention that that's total carbs, not net carbs. I count all carbs in my diet, so someone else might be able to do the math for the net carbers.

Hope that helps! I can't eat it yet, but it's already saved to my recipe file for later on. =)

Thanks for bumping. I just happened to buy some unsweetened shredded coconut today, now I know what I am making with it!

[LoCarbingMe]

Bumping this because I still eat this all the time It's sooo easy and sooo yummy.

I finally got around to putting it in ************ and here is what I got per serving. This should make 8 servings. I enjoy it warm but i LOVE it cold for breakfast.

Calories: 346
Carbs: 4
Fat: 27
Protein: 5
Fiber: 1
Sodium: 472

Once again this was based on my brands of ingredients so yours might change a little. So 3 net carbs for serving and its delicious!

Enjoy!

Thanks for bumping, Nicole! Forgot about this recipe. Gotta buy some unsweetened coconut.

[susieqrn]

This sounds good. I'll have to give it a whirl.

[Deb34]

This sounds amazing. I could have a couple of servings for my OMAD and it would satisfy my sweet taste too! So glad this was bumped again as I never saw it before.

Funny. I was just thinking about this recipe the other day. I remembered it was coconut and blender something, lol. I didn't get around to searching for it.
Appreciate the bump.

Smells heavenly and tastes so good! I forgot how easy and delicious this recipe is.

Modifications

• I made this using a 12-count muffin pan, filling each well about ¾ full

They did not spill over but rose up about 1 inch!

There was a depression in the center of each “muffin”.

Once cooled, they sank down.

• Substituted full fat coconut milk for the heavy cream.

To remove the fluid portion from a can of coconut milk, refrigerate the can for several hours.

The contents will solidify and the fluid portion will separate

Once fully chilled, open the can and pour off the fluids

Reserve the fluids to use in your next recipe or smoothie!

I don’t know if you need to remove the water from the solids, but I did in order to make sure the final product was not watery.

Hint: if you want to make whipped coconut cream, use the same method to remove the fluids from your full fat coconut milk and whip using a mixer. Flavor or sweetened as desired. Totally yummy!

• I went back and read some of the other threads as well as recipes on line.
• I decided to try adding cream cheese just for the heck of it.

• Added 1 teaspoon coconut extract.

• Some recipes include the words “impossible” or “crustless” so I added them to the recipe name for easier searches.

Made this wonderful pie (sans crust) yesterday and we had it chilled
last night as dessert. It is beyond delish. I forgot how perfect it turns out.
No one would ever think of it as 'diet' anything. Sooooo good!

I added 10 grams crushed raspberries to the sunken in well of the muffin. Yes, I weighed them. I would guess it is equal to 2 or 3 raspberries. Mircowave for 30 seconds.

Yummo!

[Tweaker Geek]

Did you use 1/4 cup butter or 1 stick? One stick of butter is 1/2 cup.

[replay]

Nice! I used the whole stick.

Thank you!
