Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup + 1 T. Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 13.5 fl. oz. can Native Forest coconut milk
  • 1 cup SoDelicious unsweetened coconut milk beverage
  • 1/3 cup organic, grass-fed butter
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pre-baked grain-free pie crust

Instructions

  • In a small dish, lightly beat the three egg yolks. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut sugar, tapioca flour, salt, coconut milk, and coconut milk beverage over medium heat. Whisk constantly.
  • Add the butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute. It should begin to thicken.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pudding mixture into the egg yolks and stir vigorously. Spoon in 1 more tablespoon and stir vigorously again.
  • Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the pudding mixture whisking vigorously and constantly. This is to keep the hot pudding mixture from cooking the egg yolks.
  • Once the egg yolks are whisked in, add the vanilla extract. Return the pudding mixture to the stove top and heat over medium heat.
  • Bring the mixture back to a boil and boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly.
  • Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Place the pie in the fridge and allow it to set up for at least 4 hours.
  • Cut and serve! Store leftovers in the fridge.
