Atkins Dessert Recipes

Ingredients:

=== CRUST ===
1 cup almond flour
= (abt 5 1/2 oz whole almonds, grou
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup granular sugar substitute
1 egg white
=== FILLING ===
1 can coconut milk - (14 oz)
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 eggs
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup granular sugar subsitute
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut extract
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions:

For crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix almond flour, coconut, sugar
substitute and egg white. If coconut mixture is too dry to hold together
add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water, a few drops at a time, until mixture holds
its shape when pinched together. Press onto bottom and up sides of a
9-inch pie plate to form a crust. Bake 15 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove from oven; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees.

For filling: Scald coconut milk and cream in a medium saucepan; set aside
to cool slightly. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed
(or with a wire whisk), beat eggs and yolk until frothy. Beat in sugar
substitute, salt, vanilla and coconut extract. Slowly beat in coconut milk
mixture. Fold in shredded coconut and stir gently.

Pour filling into prepared crust. Bake 5 minutes. Reduce temperature to
350 degrees and bake 15 minutes more or until a knife inserted near center
comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, then transfer to
refrigerator to chill completely.

Comments: Pamela says "Hubby calls this my best 'diet' dessert." It is
indeed delicious. You'll have about 1/2 cup filling left over, which you
can simply bake in a custard cup.

You can find unsweetened shredded coconut in health food stores. If only
coconut flakes are available, chop them finely.
