Marla’s Crustless Coconut Pie (S)
| Marla’s Crustless Coconut Pie has been an amazing hit with THMs around the globe! Serve this for Resurrection Sunday, Mother’s Day, or any day dessert and even non-THMs will reach for another slice! This is a Trim Healthy Mama Community submitted recipe from Marla Ayatskua who lives in Japan. Marla says: “This recipe was a wonderful accidental discovery. I wanted my grandmother’s coconut pie but did not have enough ingredients for a THM crust. So I converted just the pie filling from my grandmother’s recipe to THM and baked it without a crust. It turned out so delicious! Non-THM family raved about it. It’s quick to mix up and includes ingredients you probably already have on-hand. This is perfect to whip up the day before and take along to an event or just keep it all to yourself! Delicious and totally satisfying! And it tastes just as great a day or two later after it’s been in the fridge!” |
