Chef Sara’s Coconut “Cream” Pie with Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Coconut Crust

Description

This rich, luscious pie is a coconut lover’s dream! A gluten-free graham cracker and coconut crust encases an easy-to-slice coconut custard filling, topped with sweet coconut whipped cream and toasted shredded coconut. For a soy-free option, choose soy-free vegan butter (or coconut oil) for the crust. We thank Catskill Animal Sanctuary's Chef Sara Boan for sharing this through her Compassionate Cuisine cooking program.
