Step 1: Prepare the Crust

3. Gradually add melted coconut oil, pulsing until the dough holds together.
4. Press the dough into the pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
5. Bake at 300°F for 15 minutes, then raise the oven to 355°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.

Step 2: Make the Custard

2. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring until it thickens.
3. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes until it becomes custard-like.

5. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, covering the custard with plastic wrap directly on the surface.

Step 3: Make the Coconut Whip
