- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- Pinch salt
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions
- Combine the heavy cream and coconut cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to just a simmer.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, powdered sweetener, and salt. Slowly stir in about half of the hot cream, whisking continuously, to temper the eggs. Then slowly whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the pan of hot cream.
- Cook another 4 to 5 minutes, whisking continuously, until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Sprinkle surface with the xanthan gum and whisk briskly to combine. Stir in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust and spread to the edges. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours.
- Place the whipping cream in a large bowl and add the sweetener and vanilla. Beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.
- Spread over the top of the chilled pie and sprinkle with the toasted flaked coconut.
Notes
- Ensure the pie crust is pre-baked before adding the filling.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 to 3 hours for best results.
- Use unsweetened coconut for the best flavor.
