Easy Coconut Pie Crust

I just saw this in today's newspaper--I haven't tried it yet, so I can't vouch for how good it might be, but thought I'd post it immediately!

COCONUT PIE CRUST

Mix together 1/4 cup softened butter and 2 cups shredded coconut. Press into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 300 degrees or until crust is lightly browned. Cool before filling.

This is for pie fillings that do not need to be baked (would make a good substitute for graham cracker crusts). I am assuming that the sweetened shredded coconut that we can easily get at the supermarket would work just fine here.

If anyone tries it before I do, post the results here!!!!! :)

I didn't do that exactly but I just took a bag of gluten/dairy free coconut cookies (I was in Australia at the time and know that they weren't cookies that are available in the US but any brand, I'm sure, would work fine), crushed them up and added melted dairy free butter until the whole thing stuck together, patted it into a pie pan and stuck it in the oven for about 10 minutes until it was golden brown. I used it as the crust for a banana cream pie - delicious and so easy!

This sounds great. Might have to try it soon. I have coconut left over from ambrosia I made for Labor Day.

YUM

It will need to be the sweetened type. Unsweetened shredded coconut will just end up butter-toasted.

I had that recipe from another source and it's not bad if you bake it and then break it into pieces and eat it as a cookie but it is very greasy.

Hmmm...I wonder if it would work to cut the butter in half and throw in a beaten egg?

I would not add a beaten egg, the amount of butter really sounds fine, I have made something similar a lot.

Sometimes I just use whatever cookie crumbs I have in the freezer, add butter, chopped nuts & or coconut.

But the favorite of my office is: (measurements are not exact because I really do not measure) 1 cup of almond flour, about 1/2 stick of butter, a cup or so of chopped pecans & a heaping cup of coconut, mix it all up & press in pie pan, bake at 350 degrees until it starts to brown.

I let the crust cool,

Then I take a can of sweetened condensed milk & stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (or a little more if you really want tart) fresh squeezed lemon juice, stir till all is blended, pour into pie shell & put in refrigerator at least 24 hours before cutting but is really better 2 days later - if you can keep everyone out of it.

You can also use lime juice, or the traditional key limes is excellent !!!!

Note: some recipes will list this pie filling with a raw egg mixed in - ugh, I have never done this & I cannot see why anyone would put a raw egg in it.

      Previous Biopsy Results

      By Katya773 · Posted

      Hello:). This a lengthy post. Just looking for some advice. I had the capsule study back in 2019  I tried the gluten challenge but got so horribly distended and could finish it, I had been gluten-free since 2016 except for occasional accidental ingestion. However In 2019 I saw a gastroenterologist due to nonstop diarrhea and bloating. No diagnosis of Crohns or ulcerative colitis. After my biopsy I went to see the doctor and he said I could eat gluten bc my risk wasn’t high. However his nurse practitioner called me later and said I had Celiac?! What the heck??? So I stayed gluten-free.  How confusing! These are partial-biopsy results from 2019. *Signifi retained food stomach/SB. Mult ulcers jejunum/ileum-petechiae, damaged villi, lymphangiectasia. I am DQ2.5 homozygous, my mom has Celiac. Apparently being DQ2.5 homozygous puts Celiacs at risk for refractory Celiac and EATL… How scary and this is another reason why I want to be sure of my diagnosis.  Fast forward to now ,last year  I lost 18 lbs bc I felt so full after small amounts of food and had constant nausea. It comes and goes. Usually I can trace my symptoms to accidental gluten ingestion. Didn’t know Wheatgrass is a no no 😕 I have a new Gastro and he said try another challenge and pill endoscopy. So I did my best  but yet again I didn’t complete it. I’m torn if I should go ahead and try the challenge again like my Gastro  recommended. This whole thing has been so draining. I lost my dad to suicide  a few months ago and my twos cats died within 6 months of each other, my stress levels have sky rocketed. Not feeling well off and on makes it harder to stay positive.

      gluten challenge /tests/ discomfort

      Bone demineralization would not be detectable via bloodwork. It would require a DEXA scan. The body keeps calcium levels pretty constant in the blood and will rob it from the bones if necessary because it is such an important mineral for many metabolic processes.

      Low B12, low iron stores and low D all scream of celiac disease as opposed to NCGS! You would not have those deficiencies with NCGS because NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel. Of course, some or all of those deficiencies could be due to other medical conditions but the fact that you can't do gluten sure points to celiac disease. I do understand that you rely on the NSAIDs for pain control but they are also known to be hard on the gut and I wonder if it is the cause of the intermittent bleeding you mention. Concerning bariatric surgery for weight control, I have know a number of people who had that done and none of them were happy with it in the long run. It can create a number of other health/nutrition related problems and when you already are starting out with some significant preexisting medical issues I would be skeptical of it.

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seborrheic dermatitis can definitely be frustrating, especially when it causes itching and redness. You’re not alone—many people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity also struggle with skin and scalp conditions, and some find that gluten exposure worsens inflammation. Have you noticed any connection between your diet and flare-ups? Some folks see improvement with gluten-free or anti-inflammatory diets, while others benefit from medicated shampoos (like those with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide). It might be worth tracking symptoms alongside your diet to see if there’s a pattern. Hope you find some relief soon.
