This chocolate coconut pie is sugar-free, low carb, gluten free and dairy free!
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Have you ever heard that song from the commercial for Almond joy and Mounds candy bars? For some odd reason that songs been in my head for a long time and I have no idea why as I never eat those candy bars anymore. Since last summer when I made my Crustless Coconut Custard pie I knew I wanted to create a chocolate version of it. I was mentioning it to my friend Laurie and said I had no idea what to call it. She exclaimed, It's a Mounds Pie!! So I guess since then that song has been ringing through my head. Thanks Laurie!
When I was asked to create a new recipe for Silk with their Coconut milk, I knew the pie idea HAD to be made! Even if you're not really a fan of coconut I can guarantee you will enjoy this pie. It's perfect for the summer as it's not too heavy in texture.
Not only was I asked to create a new recipe using Silk Coconut Milk, but I was also invited to have a "Secret Ingredient" party with family or friends to see if they could guess the star of the show in all my recipes shared.
I went crazy with excitement thinking of the the dessert recipes I already have using coconut milk that would compliment this new pie recipe quite perfectly!
This was the spread when I had my family over to guess the secret ingredient of all these desserts.
From left to right clockwise is another one of my newer recipes that compliments this secret ingredient so nicely, No Bake Lemon Coconut Truffles. Then so everyone could try a little, I doubled the recipe for my Dairy & Sugar Free Chocolate Milkshakes. The new pie recipe is below and to the right is my Crock Pot Dairy & Sugar Free Fudge.
All the recipes except the lemon truffles are dairy free.
My brother and sister in law trying the milkshakes!
They guessed the secret ingredient as soon as they all tried the pie!!
Piece of fudge anyone? It's dairy & sugar free!

Brenda's Recipe Notes:
- You could substitute the coconut stevia for chocolate stevia or clear liquid.
- You could also substitute the coconut flour for almond flour or any other flour of choice.
- If you don't have liquid stevia you can use packets or pure extract.
- The nutrition info is without chocolate shavings on top.
- The higher fat content is due to the coconut cream topping which you could replace or eliminate to reduce fat.
- The grams of sugar is coming from natural sugar in the coconut milk. There is no added sugars within this recipe.

How do you make the cream topping!? Please respond ASAP as this is for tomrrow’s Easter dessert!
Brenda
Add the cream toppings ingredients to a stand mixer and blend on high. Best if the canned coconut milk has been refrigerated overnight and use only the creamy part from the can.
Krista
The only ingredient I see for the cream topping is coconut milk - so do you just whip the more creamy part of the canned milk and put it on top of the filling?
Brenda
Yes and add your own sweetener to taste, then pipe on top or just spread over.

I made this yesterday and it was a hit. Baked it at 350 for 40 min and it was just right. The outside was hard and the inside super moist. Totally easy and the hubby approves. Hubby's suggestion was add some almond peaces and then it's an Almond Joy Cake (his favorite) :-). Thanks Brenda for doing such a good job and sharing your recipes with us!
Brenda
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad hubby approved!
