You only need three common ingredients to make this pie crust! That means this is a low cost and super easy recipe perfect for those last minutes holiday pies.
This recipe is for one 8″ or 9″ pie, but you can easily double or triple it if you need to make two or three pies.
Ingredients List
- Butter
- Dry Shredded Coconut
- Powdered Sugar
Butter: I use salted butter for this crust, but if all you have is unsalted butter, simply throw in a pinch of salt. This helps heighten those wonderful flavors.
Shredded Coconut: I use unsweetened coconut for my crust. The powdered sugar provides, in my opinion, the perfect amount of sweet. But if you want an extra sweet pie crust, you can go with sweetened coconut.
