Recipe Tips

  • As I mentioned above, you can leave the caster sugar out if you want to use this crust for a savory dish.
  • Coconut can be substituted with another ingredient if you’re not a fan of the taste of coconut. Something like cornstarch or flaxseed is the perfect substitute.
  • If the pie mixture is looking too wet, then add a bit more almond flour. Be very careful as you don’t want to make it too dry.
  • Almond flour is also known as ground almonds or almond meal. All of these ingredients will work in this recipe.
  • Keep an eye on the pie when it is blind baking. Doing this will help make sure you avoid burning the pie crust.
  • Caster sugar is also known as baker's sugar or superfine sugar. These sugars are ideal for baked goods.
