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.
