You could probably use an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl but the sunflower seeds would need to be ground or purchase sunflower meal or use almond meal if no nut allergies.

Please see my Sweetener Guide & Conversion Chart to help you decide on accurate amounts.
Can I swap the coconut flour?
No, it isn’t easy to swap coconut flour with other low carb keto flours because coconut flour is quite dense and requires more liquids for moisture.
For example, 1/4 cup coconut flour is about equal to 1 cup almond flour.
For this easy no bake pie crust, I promise, you won’t taste the coconut flavor since the chocolate flavor is the star.

Not sure what happened to mine, but it was runny..so I added more coconut flour, and popped it in the fridge…
Hello:)
I’m wanting to make a pumpkin pie cheesecake no bake pie, but I don’t want to use the cocoa powder. Anything I can substitute with so I can still have a no bake crust? Thanks!:)
I don’t have a food processor. What can I use instead, to process the raw sunflower seeds? Would a regular blender work?
I think a blender would work, they might not get as fine as a food processor though.
Can you leave out the sunflower seeds and have it still work or are they an absolute ingredient?
You’ll need to replace them with something.
Hi! This is absolutely delicious, but I would like to point out that this is not “nut free,” as coconut is a tree nut.
Coconut is actually not a tree nut, it’s actually a fruit called a drupe. Commonly known as a stone fruit like a nectarine or peach.
My doctor told me it’s considered a fruit, seed, and a nut. I personally can’t eat them anymore because they react the same as tree nuts in my body, but I know not everyone is the same.
Hi! Looks awesome!
What would you need to adjust to make a non-chocolate version of this?
thanks!
Ana
Use this recipe instead; https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/low-carb-coconut-flour-pie-crust/
This may be a stupid question, but could you bake it. If you wanted to make a baked pie filling, could you bake the crust or would that ruin it?
I’m not sure as I haven’t tried it. Why not just try one of my baked pie crust recipes instead: https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/low-carb-nut-free-grain-free-chocolate-pie-crust/
this is my secound time making this crust we love it only changes i have made was 1\2 cup pecans instead of sunflower seeds and its go good. i have made a cheese cake that had to be baked and the crust was wonderful hoe this helps
Could you use coconut oil in place of butter.
I’m sure that would be fine.
Do you have a weight for the butter please? My butter always comes out of the fridge and trying to figure out 8 tablespoons of hard butter isn’t easy! Many thanks
Hello Brenda, I tried your Samoa pie.
A lot here told me it was the best Keto dessert they had !
Congratulation for this delicious pie!
But…the crust was like powder, I don’t know why.
Is this crust recipe holding well together? Better than the other one?
Thank you !
This is the exact crust from the Samoa pie and it holds well together.
I only have salted pumpkin seeds. Could I substitute them for the sunflower seeds?
I think so although because they are salted you may want to reduce the butter, use half and see how it looks. If it still looks too dry, use a quarter more. I’m just thinking the pumpkin seeds with salt may make the crust a bit oily.
I’ve never used Swerve! I’ve seen coupons in the paper, but I haven’t found it in stores. So I just searched Amazon and – of course – they have it, but they have both granular and confectioners. Does it matter, and which should I use? Should I buy both, I wonder?
Thank you for these awesome desserts – can’t wait to try them all!
You can buy Swerve online at iherb.com and use my discount code YAJ035. Either kind will work in this recipe. But for no bake recipes that require smoothness, like custard, mousse, etc I prefer the confectioners.
Meijer carries it and so does Whole foods. I use the powder one for everything. Due to the fact that the powder one sems to be the only one on the shelf every time I go to buy it. I don’t see a difference.
Hey! Can this be made vegan with vegetable shortening?
Sure!
