I have made this pie occasionally for years and loved it...decided to make it different today...just in case anyone ever wonders about using almond flour as well as something besides regular white sugar. I replaced the flour with fine almond flour and instead of going to the bottom, it make a soft, cakey layer just beneath the coconut top! It was great!!! I also used Gentle Sweet (mixture of erythritol, xylitol and stevia) I used 6 Tbsp. of Gentle Sweet in place of the 1 cup sugar...made it the perfect sweetness and I can honestly tell no difference between GS and sugar in this!!. Another thing I do is use unsweetened coconut. It is a hit and next time I will try some nutmeg...maybe even some finely chopped pecans! It did get pretty brown ...(possibly the almond flour...but not overly) and took a little less time than 1 hour. It tastes wonderful! I'm so excited! A new, healthier dessert!!

There is a lot to love about this recipe. First it is super easy to make. Second it turns out looking and tasting great. Third it can be cut down for two and baked in custard cups. Four it has a nice chewy coconut topping and creamy custard filling. Made as written cutting down to two servings and baking in custard cups for 50 minutes. Thanks for the post.

Simple to make, simply delicious! I made 1/4 of the recipe in an individual ramekin and it came out perfectly - cake-like crust on the bottom, rich custard in the middle, toasted coconut on top. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!

Made it today and couldn't wait until it was completely cool. Love it. Might cut back on the sugar just a bit. So east and it baked up great.
