How to Make Coconut Cream Bars in a Slow Cooker
Cris here.
Coconut Cream Pie is one of my all time favorite pies. That is why I was thrilled to find an incredible Coconut Custard Pie in one of our favorite low carb cookbooks, Easy Keto Desserts. I make it a lot. So it got me thinking of how on earth am I going to make it when we go back on the road in the RV… because going without is NOT an option- ha!
After several tests, I eventually figured out how to make a coconut cream bar version in my slow cooker that I absolutely love.
You can make these bars low carb with sugar substitutes or if you are not eating low carb, just use regular powdered sugar and serve with a side of pie crust cookies. Pie crust cookies you ask? Simply refrigerator pie dough into strips and bake until golden. You’ll never go back to regular pie again.
Making Crock Pot Coconut Cream Bars Low Carb
We use a powdered sugar substitute to make these Coconut Cream Bars low carb, our two favorite brands both make a powdered confectioner’s sugar version. We recommend Sukrin or Swerve
Notes on Crock Pot Coconut Cream Bars
- This recipe was inspired by the Coconut Custard Pie in one of our favorite low carb cookbooks, Easy Keto Desserts. If you have a sweet tooth but are eating low carb or need to watch your sugar intake, I highly recommend this cookbook. I haven’t tried a recipe in it that I did not love.

- The auto calculation in this recipe includes sugar alcohols in the carb count. As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs. It is always best to calculate your own nutritional information.
- Our 6 Quart Ninja cooks this up fantastic every time in about an hour. You should be able to use any 6 quart slow cooker, however cooking times will depend on your slow cooker. We have not tested it in our casserole crock, but will update once we do.

CAN I USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN COCONUT FLOUR? CANNOT FIND ANY. THANKS
Hi Peg!
We have not tried this recipe with any other flour, so we can’t make any recommendations. However, you can purchase coconut flour on Amazon if you can’t find it anywhere else (referral link: https://amzn.to/39q9JLB).
Enjoy!

Hi Cris,
I really enjoy watching you and your husband on YouTube. This recipe was a great hit. Have you tried making it in the Instant Pot? I make egg custard in the Instant Pot all the time. Maybe it would be similar?
So glad you enjoyed the recipe(and the channel!). We will definitely add this to our list to test in our electric pressure cooker.
Thanks, Cris. Your recipes are ALWAYS a go-to for any type of meal or any type of dish. I’ve told more people if the recipe is from your website they can rest assured it is going to be deliciously AWESOME!! Thank you so very much for sharing such amazing recipes with all of us out here in cyberspace. 😊😊
Thanks so much, Sue! That means a lot to us! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and let us know that! So glad you enjoy the site.
Is the coconut milk used in this recipe sweetened OR unsweetened, please?
Hi Sue!
It is full fat and unsweetened. Enjoy!
