Low Sugar Coconut Almond Pie Crust Or Cheesecake Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Bake pie crust according to directions on back of package. While baking heat skillet and toast 1 Tbsp coconut flakes until golden brown.
• Mix milk, coconut extract and pudding mix together. When well blended add coconut flakes then half of Cool Whip. Once blended well pour into baked pie crust and smooth. Let set for 10 minutes in refrigerator. When ready to serve top with remaining Cool Whip and toasted flakes.
• ** You can use the same concept with chocolate pudding mix and make a Chocolate Silk pie that is wonderful.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°. Lightly coat an 8" springform pan with cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with a round of parchment paper and wrap the outside with foil. In a small saucepan, simmer raspberries, granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water over medium heat; cook until sauce thickens, 10 minutes. Set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse almonds until very finely ground. Add brown sugar,butter and a pinch of salt; pulse briefly to combine. Transfer to prepared pan and press firmly into bottom to form an even crust. Add cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream and vanilla to food processor; puree until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, blending after each addition. Pour filling onto crust. Spoon raspberry sauce on top and swirl using the tip of a knife, wiping it clean occasionally.
• Place springform pan in a 9" x 13" baking pan. Add warm water to come 1 inch up side of springform pan. Bake until cheesecake center jiggles slightly, 50 to 60 minutes. Let stand at room temperature until cool enough to touch. Remove springform pan from water, cover cake with foil and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Run a table knife between edge of cheesecake and springform pan before gently removing side of pan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 9-inch pie plate with butter flavored cooking spray.
• Beat Egg Beaters with milk and light butter. Add flour and Splenda and whisk until smooth. Stir in coconut and vanilla. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. I prefer to let it cool, then refrigerate it overnight before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
• *If you want this pie to be completely sugar free, you will have to purchase unsweetened coconut or shred your own. You might want to add some extra Splenda as well--to make up for the sugar that's in regular packaged coconut. Also, you can substitute 1 cup egg whites (about 6 or 7) for the Egg Beaters.

Steps:

• Almond Crust:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix the almond flour, butter and sugar substitute in a bowl. Spray 8x8 square pan (or pie plate) with cooking spray, and press this mixture evenly into the pan.
• Place this crust in a preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden browned and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan. Remove the crust from the oven, and let it cool while you make the filling.
• Cheesecake Filling:.
• Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool and slightly thickened (20-30 minutes).
• Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the Jello to the cream cheese, and mix really well. Add Cool Whip 1/2 cup at a time until well blended. Add the sugar substitute until blended. Spread the mixture in the pan or pie plate and chill for a couple of hours.
• This recipe is very versatile. Use different jello flavour or add more or less sugar substitute or use juice instead of water or fold fresh or canned fruit into the cheesecake filling.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Mix vanilla and butter together in a large bowl.
• Add other ingredients and mix until all the crumbs are moistened.
• Press into a pie plate and bake at 350F for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Use as you would a graham cracker crust.
