They’re a perfect little dessert to serve at any dinner party. They’re enjoyable for ketoers and carb-lovers alike.

How does one print your recipes for use when at home?

Hi Cindy, I am working on the print functionality now, but in the meantime, try PrintFriendly.com, it’s a great tool for creating easy recipe printouts. 🙂

Hi Amanda, love your recipes. Just to let you know, the link to the vanillla bean sweetener takes you to the real sugar version, not a sugar free one.

Amanda C. Hughes March 25, 2019 - 8:59 am

Thanks, Jacqi! I am glad you enjoy them! Thanks for the catch. I have updated the link to go to the sugar-free version.

I love this dessert! I could eat the coconut cream mixture on its own it’s that good.

I have a horrible sweet tooth and I have started and stopped the keto diet like 5 times now. I figured I would need to find good tasting sweets I can enjoy before starting again. I made my first batch of these mini-coconut pies and I am blown away by how good they are. Going to add this to my sweet treats list. Best part is they are so easy to make.

Hi. Can I use vanilla extract instead of the syrup?
