KETO Friendly French Coconut Pie (Gluten & Sugar Free)

A sweet, crunchy & tasty coconut tart.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
3/4 cup Lakanto Classic sweetener
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3 large organic eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 cup whipped cream (optional)
16 - 24 fresh raspberries (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 300*. Use butter to grease a 9 inch pie pan and set aside. In a large bowl, or 8 cup measuring cup, combine the coconut and coconut milk. Set aside. In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the sweetener and butter, until creamy.  Blend in the eggs, extracts and nutmeg. Add to the coconut and beat on medium speed, until well combined. Pour into the prepared pie pan. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. 



Cool completely and then refrigerate. Cut into 8 slices and serve chilled. If desired, garnish with a dollop (2 tablespoons) of whipped cream and 2 or 3 raspberries.

Notes: 
This is so simple to make and a real treat for anyone who likes coconut!

My whipped Cream recipe: beat together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup Lakanto Powdered sweetener (or sweetener of choice) and 1 envelope "Whip It" (optional). The Whip It helps the whipped cream to holds it's shape.
