These were incredible!!! Perfect texture and loved them with the chocolate chips
Can I use coconut evaporated milk? I can’t have dairy.
Hi! I haven’t tried that but I think it could potentially work. Let me know if you try it!
Can I use almond flour in place of the coconut flour?
That might work, but make sure to ~4x the amount when using almond flour instead of coconut flour!
Just tested these and they are insanely good. Making them again for Thanksgiving!!
Can I use Swerve that is mix of allulose and erythritol?
I think it should work. I’d recommend using mostly allulose if possible for best texture!
Could you use ho why for the sweetener?
Sorry, I’m not familiar with “ho why.” Can you clarify on what that is please?
Can I use half and half instead of heavy cream?
I haven’t tried, but I think it should work! Let me know how it comes out 🙂
Can I omit the crust and can I use raw unfiltered honey for the sweetener?
I’m not sure, I haven’t tried that! Please let me know if you decide to experiment 🙂
So delicious! Loved the chocolate chips in them too
Can you make videos of the steps to know what it should look like?
Thank you for the idea, maybe in the future!
I made these for Thanksgiving, and they were outstanding. Served with whipped cream. I recommend serving them at room temperature or cold for best texture! Yum! Will make again!
I am not a fan of chocolate chips in pecan pie so if I leave it out would anything need to change in recipe?
Nope! They are optional as mentioned in the recipe 🙂
