Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Grease pie pan with coconut oil and mix crust ingredients by hand in a medium-sized bowl.
- Press crust into bottom and sides of pie pan and put in the oven while making the filling.
- In the same bowl, combine the filling ingredients (except coconut milk) and mix using an immersion blender. If you don’t have one of these, use a regular blender or food processor. A hand-mixer will not get it as smooth! It should be smooth and spreadable, but not really pourable. Add coconut milk if needed to think slightly.
- After 10-15 minutes, remove crust and return as it barely starts to brown.
- Pour/smooth the filling over the crust and return to oven for about an hour or until center is no longer jiggly. Will set more as it cools.
- Top with coconut cream of whipped heavy cream and some chopped pecans.
