Dishing on this Dish: This delicious pie is low oxalate, gluten and dairy free as well as sugar free. The sugars used in this recipe do not affect the glycemic index. This crust can be used with savory dishes too, just omit the Monk Fruit Sugar. When using this crust for pies like pumpkin or apple, protect the crust with foil or purchased crust protectors. Just put them on after adding the filling but before putting back into the oven. Tips on the Canned Coconut Milk: I always keep a couple cans of full fat coconut milk in the back of the fridge. Store them here, upside down. Then when you need them, you just turn them right side back up and open with a can opener. Voila! your full fat is right on top and can be easily scooped out. You should have enough fat in one can for 2 pies, or 1 pie and the whipped topping recipe above.
