Keto coconut cream pie is sugar free and gluten free, fluffy and creamy keto dessert. It could be with baked and no bake keto pie crust!
Baked or no baked keto pie crust
You will love this keto coconut cake, I'm sure! You can make it in literally 15 minutes! There is an option to make it as baked or no bake pie. Sounds fantastic!? It is! Ingredients are completely the same but you can decide bake or not to bake. If you have oven and you have 10 minutes more, bake it because the taste will be better. Whole cake will have very rich flavor if crust is baked.
If you decide not to bake it will still be great. If you don't have oven or you do't want to heat your home because it's too hot in your part of the world, you will definitely love this recipe!
This keto pie crust ingredients are for sure so delicious so you can eat them baked and raw.
The best low-carb coconut cream pie
When I tell you that this is the best low-carb coconut cream pie, you need to believe me. Keto sweet pie crust is delicious and so versatile, baked or no baked.
The cream is so smooth and rich. Heavy whipping cream is cooked with eggs and vanilla and they are so good combination. When you add mascarpone into that yumminess and a tablespoon of butter, OMG! You literally get heaven on your plate!
When I tried this cream for the first time, I couldn't believe how good it was. Cream has so rich taste, and you need to add vanilla because then you get real vanilla cream. On top of the cream goes full cup or roasted shredded coconut.
You can use raw shredded coconut, but roasting on a pan will give special aroma and flavor, it will be so much better. Don't forget to leave 1 tablespoon of coconut to sprinkle on top of whipped heavy cream.
However, this vanilla cream is so rich and strong, so you need to put whipped heavy whipping cream on top of vanilla cream. I don't put any sweetener in heavy whipping cream. I just mix good quality heavy whipping cream until firm peaks are formed. When ready just put it on top. Whipped heavy cream gives fluffiness to this pie and it makes pie lighter.
Keto coconut cream pie serving
With serving of this coconut cream pie you don't have any problems. It goes perfectly on every way. Only problem you can have with this keto cake is that it is gone too fast. I try to leave a piece for myself to have it with a cup of tea in the evening.
Cup of tea before going to bed is my little ritual that makes my life so much better. I have opportunity to reflect on my day, everything that worked well and what I should improve. Time to think and create my next day and week. That little moment, it's 10 or 15 minutes only, but my whole week is more successful if I manage to have these 10 minutes for myself in the evening.
Definitely it makes me more productive, more successful and more happy I would say. So, I can recommend you, make this delicious keto coconut cream pie, make yourself tea or coffee and enjoy it with yourself! You will see how good you will feel!

Hi, so i tried this cake, but unfortunatly i realised to late, that european pie forms and americans are different in depht, so i hadnt enough crust high for the filling... I know next time to use a different form... The filling btw dosnt get thick enough to be cut (it flows away). But compared to my ice cream basic recipe, its not enough egg to get thicker. For my ice cream i would use 2 eggs for 250ml of cream, so for 675 ml of cream i would at least add two more egg yolks and, while it is for a cake, i would add one piece of gelatin next time.
Family On Keto says
Hi Sarah, thanks for your comment! Yes, we don't have deep dishes! I will have to order from US! This pie really has to sit in the fridge overnight. You may add the gelatin to be on a safe side, but the texture is better without (my taste). However, gelatin will definitely work! Have a great day!
antoniette says
Im not a big fan of coconut but this was delicious!! Easy to make as well. You can easily customize it too. I added banana extract and it went really well with it. I also added about 3/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum since it was a lil looser than I would like.
Family On Keto says
Thank you so much for commenting!I'm so glad you like it! 🙂
Megan says
Hello!
I’m in the process of making this for my family but I’m wondering how it is possible to get 16 servings from a 9-inch pan?
Family On Keto says
Hi, Be careful about servings and portions. It's not the same. Servings are standardized and in one portion you may have few servings, depending on your needs, how many meals you have, etc.
Jenny says
I want to make this today. The only thing I don't have is Mascarpone but I do have cream cheese and full fat greek unsweetened coconut yogurt. Will either one of those work in your recipe. It looks absolutely delish and I can't wait to make it.
Family On Keto says
Hi, cream cheese works totally good. Don't use greek yogurt.
Kristen says
Will crust be firm
Family On Keto says
Hi Kristen, it needs cool to be firm. When just baked it's not firm.
Elisa says
Hi! I did this pie first time today and in some reason the fillings consistency is liquidy. I don't know how firm it should be before pouring it on the crust. Should I trust that the filling is going to firm over night or should I turn to the grocerie store to get gelatine. I used even 4 eggs to get the filling more firm.
Family On Keto says
Hi, yes it is liquidy. Don’t forget to stir in the mixture half of the coconut because coconut will also absorb part of the moist and in the morning you have firm but creamy pie.
Elisa says
Ok! Thanks for the quick answer, I preciate it. Well then I'm patiently wating tomorrow. I made this pie for mothers day and my mom is already wating to taste this delicasy 🙂 greeting from Finland!
Alex says
I don’t have mascarpone cheese 🙁 Can I replace it instead with cream cheese or sour cream?
Family On Keto says
Hi Alex, cream cheese could be ok. Sour cream won't work, it will be liquid.
Angela says
Wish I could of left a picture. This was the first pie I've ever tried in my life as I'm more a cake and cupcake baker, but after 2 months on Keto and baking cakes with almond flour all the time I really needed a change as feeling they are all starting to taste the same with the same texture 😭 My son and I made this and I have got to say I didn't hold much hope of it turning out as it's my first time but it was beautiful. Stuck to the recipe and the only thing I would change is adding a touch of coconut extract as I couldn't taste the coconut, it was so creamy and velvety and rich. Well done!!
Angela says
Ps. I did have alot of pudding left over so put some in dessert dishes and ate like a pudding. My son loved it!
Family On Keto says
Fantastic idea! 🙂

emilee says
Mine has been in the fridge overnight and it still very liquidy can I put it in the freezer? Open to any suggestions to get it to thicken
Family On Keto says
Hi Emilee, well, you need to mix half of the coconut in the cream to make it thick. Coconut absorbs part of the liquid and thicken the cream. If you put it in the freezer it will be like an ice cream, still very delicious.
Ely says
Thank you for taking time to comment after making this! I was looking through the ingredients and wondered where the coconut is in the coconut cream. Your comment confirmed the lack of coconut and saved me from a disappointment.
Family On Keto says
Dear Ely, I'm so happy it turned out great at the end! <3
Leni Alim says
Your recipe is really heavenly thank you forvsharing
Family On Keto says
Thank you so much Leni! 🙂
Lisa says
I used a 9" pie plate, which was a mistake. As a result, the crust was too thick, and I couldn't fit about 1/3 of the filling into the shell. It was delicious, though, and I wonder how that filling would be if I were to put it into my ice cream maker. Might need a bit more sweetener and an ounce of vodka (to prevent it from getting too hard) but I bet it would be delicious! I'll definitely try this again using a straight-sided cape pan.
Family On Keto says
Hi Lisa, that might be great idea! It's also good to put it in glasses and in the fridge and have it like a pudding 🙂
Laura Arseneau says
I had difficulty getting filling to be firm, even after 6 hours in fridge. It was more like a pudding consistency. What did I do wrong?
Family On Keto says
HI Laura, maybe it should stay more, the best is overnight. Did you put the half of roasted shredded coconut in the cream? Coconut soaks liquid and helping cream layer to be firm but creamy.
Karma Wilson says
I make this pie with the following alterations: Cream cheese instead of marscapone and I add a half tablespoon of gelatin dissolved in boiling water with the cream cheese. It’s just enough to firm it up without being jello-y.
Family On Keto says
Thank you for your comment! 🙂
antoniette says
Mine was a lil loose as well. I took it off the heat and whisked in about 3/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Hope that helps
Nida says
Hi, this looks delicious! I'm going to try it today. Just wondering how many eggs do I need for 2L eggs beaten? I'm confused. Should I keep adding eggs and beating until I have 2L? Seems like a lot of eggs to get 2L. Please let me know. Thanks
Family On Keto says
2 L eggs = 2 large eggs 🙂
Amanda Golding says
Hi Laura. Can the cream pie be frozen?
Family On Keto says
Hi Amanda, it can be frozen! 🙂
Bri says
Do you use almond meal or a specific kind of ground almonds
Family On Keto says
Almond meal will be great!
Sabrina says
Omg! This pie is amazing and so easy to make! I don't make pies much so I was hesitant, I finally made it last night and its really delicious and satisfying! I didn't add the whipped cream bcoz I'm lazy, I added a bit more sweetness then the recipe, I wanted it a bit sweeter. Instructions were easy to follow and even for a first time pie maker it's turned out great! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Family On Keto says
Thank you Sabrina! I am so happy you like it! Thank you so much for commenting! <3
Tracy Gardner says
I wonder if i can use 1/2 coconut extract and have vanilla? Have you tried that?
Family On Keto says
HiTracy, I am not sure if I understand your question. How would you use coconut extract?
Tracy Gardner says
There is vanilla extract in the pie. I asked-Can i swap it for coconut extract? I did already and its awesome.
Family On Keto says
Ahaaa! Great to hear you love it! Thanks for your comment! 🙂
Christine says
Hi Ines, it’s me again!
THAT.PIE.IS.AAAAAMMMAAAAAZZZZZING!
We fed it to a group of non-keto dieters- everyone enjoyed it. I think it may be the best keto recipe I have EVER made (we don’t make much keto sweet stuff because so much is disappointing, but I do bake a lot generally). I would make this again even if we weren’t carb cutting. I am going to be trying LOTS of your stuff now!
WOW WOW WOW WOW!
And thanks!
Family On Keto says
Hi Christine, thank you! I am so happy to read this! Try my Black Forest cake next! You will love it! 🙂
Jessica says
Just made this pie for the second time! It was amazing the first time and I ate it totally guilt free!! Thank you so so much for this recipe!
Family On Keto says
Dear Jessica, thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate this! <3
Christine says
2 litres of eggs? Im not very familiar with keto baking but I’m going go assume that is a typo and go with two large eggs...🤞
Family On Keto says
Hi, large eggs, of course! 🙂 I really like eggs, but even I wouldn't use 2 liters!:)
Diane says
Regarding your coconut cream pie, which looks absolutely fabulous!!! When you say blanched ground almonds, do you mean blanched almond flour? Or are you referring to something that has a more grainy texture, not so fine? Should it be more like ground nuts?
Thank you in advance for your reply ,
Diane
Family On Keto says
Hi Diane, thank you! Yes, I was using ground almonds and blanched ground almonds. If using almond flour, don't use superfine.
