Instructions
For the crust:
Combine all ingredients together in a bowl
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Place all ingredients in a glass pie pan
Press crumbs evenly up sides and bottom of the pan
Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown
Remove from oven and cool
For the custard:
In a medium saucepan combine cream, Swerve Sweetener, zest and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer while stirring frequently to dissolve the sweetener. Simmer vigorously until mixture thickens slightly- about four or five minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Let sit until mixture has cooled slightly and skin forms on top-about 20 minutes.
Stir mixture, strain through a fine-mesh strainer into cooled coconut pie crust.
Refrigerate uncovered until set-about three hours
Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners Swerve Sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients and whip to medium peaks with a kitchen aid or hand mixer.
Top pie with whipped topping, then, sprinkle with a tablespoon or so of crumbled Ketonia Coconut Macaroons.
