Learned that the hard way and it took forrrrevr 😉 Store-Bought Coconut Butter TIP: use *fresh* coconut flakes since older/stale ones are harder to blend. All I taste here is mega strawberry sweetness. No, surprisingly it does NOT taste like coconut (even though I love the stuff!) Coconut butter has a mildly sweet sort of shortbread type of flavor. Stop a few times along the way to scrape down the sides.Let it blend until it's basically a liquid (very runny and thin). It can take about 15 minutes, so I like to start my butter as the crust is baking.Just put 2 cups of coconut flakes in a food processor.SO EASY (and way cheaper than buying it). What is coconut butter? It's made simply by blending dried (unsweetened) coconut flakes into butter the same way you make nut butter. It's a unique ingredient that is a game-changer. So how do you make a strawberry pie that doesn't end up watery or soggy? Nope, it's not gelatin, eggs, cashews, starch or oil! You guys have asked for more recipes using *fresh* strawberries and I delivered! You won't need any freeze-dried strawberries like a few of my recipes call for.Īnd you won't even need to cook the berries to remove the water! (Did you know strawberries are like 98% water?!) I use parchment paper to make it much easier to remove. This one you just stir together and press into a pan. 😉Äon't worry about having to cut in the butter, or roll the dough, or use pie weights or any of that crazy stuff.
Strawberry cream pie full#
Since it's made with almond flour, flax and coconut oil, it's full of protein and fiber and healthy fats. Plus it's so much healthier than the traditional pie crust. It's one that I make again and again and it never disappoints! I keep going back to this crust recipe from my Chocolate Silk Pie. It reminds me of the conventional flour, sugar, butter crusts- tastes so buttery like a shortbread cookie.
