Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
- For the crust, blend almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt in a food processor. Add chilled butter and cream cheese; pulse until crumbly. Incorporate egg and vinegar to form dough.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes, then roll it out between parchment paper into a ¼ inch thick circle to fit an 8-9 inch pie plate.
- Transfer the crust to the pie plate, flute edges, prick with a fork, and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- While cooling, prepare the filling by heating milk and heavy cream with sweetener until boiling. In another bowl, beat egg yolks with arrowroot powder and butter until fluffy. Gradually mix in the warm milk mixture.
- Cook the custard over low heat until thickened (about 10-12 minutes). Pour into the baked crust and bake again at 325°F for 20-22 minutes until set.
- Toast shredded coconut in the oven until lightly browned.
- Whip heavy cream with sweetener and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- After cooling the pie completely, top it with whipped cream and toasted coconut before serving.
