SIMPLE RECIPE
All you will need is the following ingredients:
- 1 ready to bak rolled pie crust
- 4 large egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons of corn starch
- One 13.5 oz can of Light Coconut Milk
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Creme flavored Sweet Drops Stevia Extract
- 6 ounces of sugar-free dark chocolate chips
THE PIE
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Unroll your pie crust into a pie pan. Press into the pan, and then take a fork and just poke the crust with the fork all over so it bakes without bubbles. Bake for 11 minutes and let cool.
FILLING:
- I don't have a double boiler, so I created my own. I took a sauce pan and filled it 1/4 the way full of water, and brought the water to a boil, then reduced the heat. I put another pan inside on top of the water.
- Have your four yolks ready to pour in, and a splash of coconut milk, and 5 tablespoons of corn starch. begin to stir together and quickly add the rest of the coconut milk, so it doesn't get lumpy. Continue to stir until it reaches a pudding consistency. (I had to redo this step, as I didn't realize you need to have the yolks prepared and ready to pour into the warm water and stir immediately).
- Pour the pudding mix into a bowl and add the vanilla and stir. Then add the chocolate chips and vanilla creme flavored extract and stir until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Pour the mixture into your crust and put it in the fridge to cool. Mine was ready in about 30 minutes.
- Top with your favorite whip cream and enjoy. WARNING: This is so delicious and easy to make, you just might eat a pie a week, which would increase your calories rather than reduce them, so enjoy with caution.
