  • 2 tbsp sugar substitute

Whisk together all of the above and cook over medium-low heat until thickened.

  • Add in 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut

Stir together until all is thickened and remove from heat

  1. Mix in and pour into crust and chill 10-20 minutes or for 1 hour, covered with wrap
