Sometimes, I’m thankful for food allergies. I know that if it weren’t for being forced to explore gluten-free recipes, I wouldn’t have ever discovered some of the most amazing recipes ever made.
This coconut piecrust is one of those things. It’s certainly the most unconventional pie crust I’ve ever made, but for many pudding pies, and no-bake strawberry cheesecake (a recipe that I can’t wait to share!), it lends a delightfully coconutty flavor and texture.
Plus, it’s SO easy to make! And I though our quick gluten-free pie crust was easy!
It’s not only gluten-free, it’s grain free, and only uses two ingredients.
You can use butter, or go all coconut and paleo by using coconut oil.
The next time you’re making a pie that you think would go well with coconut, give it a try!
PrintGrain-Free Coconut Pie Crust

- Combine both ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until well combined and the desired consistency.
- Press into an 8-inch pie plate.
- If desired, you can double the batch for one pie plate. As you can see in the pictures, mine is pretty thin.
- Bake, if desired at 350º until golden brown. This crust is perfectly good un-baked, but if you love the flavor of toasted coconut (and who doesn’t), this is an easy step to add.
- Cool, and add your filling.
- Enjoy!

Holy Crap! This sounds and looks amazing. What an awesome idea and simple too.

Is there no need to grease the pan then to ensure the pie crust won’t stick when removing a slice? Also will the crust hold together when removing a piece?

Elise says
No, you shouldn’t need to grease the pan. And yes, the crust will hold together if it’s cold.

My mama used to make a lemon meringue pie with a coconut pie crust. My family loved her pies. In 95 mama and daddy were in a horrible car accident after Hurricane Erin hit Pensacola, Florida. After that mama didn’t do much cooking or baking. Sweet memories
Taylor Wright says
Is this okay to use with pies that require baking, and if so should we still prebake it all the way, or only until mostly baked?
Deborah Moran says
did you use sweetened coconut or plain raw?
