This delicious Low-Carb Coconut Pie is the first recipe my husband named. It's made with sugar-free instant vanilla and white chocolate pudding mixes. This pie has become a comforting delight since I realized the need to trim carbs from Steve's diet!

Even though one may have sugar sensitivities, dishes like Keto Strawberry Jello Dessert and Keto Lemon Berry Dessert can still be enjoyed as a mock sweet treat. They help reduce sugar and carb intake. We like them, but it's time for a new dish.
Being a fan of coconut pie, I recently made Steve this sugar-free, low-carb version. After a few bites, he named it Undertaker's Delight. I smiled and happily agreed!
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- Pecan halves
- Salted butter, melted
- Salt
- Stevia
- Egg white
Pie Filling
- Flaked coconut
- Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
- Sugar-free white chocolate pudding mix
- Unsweetened coconut milk
- Heavy whipping cream
- Stevia
Instructions
In its early stages of testing, this pie was made with a graham cracker crust. To cut a few more carbs, I used a pecan crust (sweetened with a little stevia) instead.
That's right, pecans! It's so easy and delicious, and gluten-free, too!
The ingredients are mixed in a food processor and pressed into a pie plate like this Emille Henry Pie Plate. It's a French ceramic pan that is heat—and scratch-resistant, easy to clean, dishwasher—and microwave-safe, goes from freezer to oven to table, and is durable for everyday use.

I have two of these nifty pie pans and cook in them repeatedly. They come in different colors, and they're not just for pies, either.
Using plastic wrap over the pie dough keeps your hands clean and helps the crust spread evenly.
After the pie crust is baked, the process of browning unsweetened coconut flakes begins. This is done by continually stirring the coconut in a heavy saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes until most flakes are browned. Be careful not to walk away from the pot until you remove it from the heat. It will scorch quickly.
Next comes the mixing of the instant pudding with coconut milk. Yummy coconut milk! If you've never tasted unsweetened coconut milk, you need to give yourself the experience. It is light, refreshing, and great on cereal or a smoothie.
Now, stir the cooled coconut into the pudding. Next, whip the cream with stevia and fold it into the coconut pudding mixture. Lastly, pour into the prepared and cooled pie shell. Refrigerate until the pie is cold before serving.
Substitutions
- You can use regular milk for coconut milk. It will only make a slight difference in taste.
- Substitute the pecan crust with your favorite crust. The carb amount will increase but the taste is still delicious.

Hello Kay I just found your blog and I love your recipes. A couple of questions about the low carb coconut pie: You "fold the whipping cream into the pudding mixture". There's no separate meringue on top, correct? Did you also stir the coconut into the pudding mixture? It looks like you sprinkled the toasted coconut on top.
Louisiana Woman
Hi, Phyllis! Thank you for your interest and compliment. Very encouraging! Yes, I fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture and there is no separate meringue on top. Yes I held out a little toasted coconut to add on top as a garnish. Enjoy!
