Spread dough evenly in a 9” pie dish.

Use your hands to press down the dough against the dish. Don’t leave any gaps, and don’t press too much against the borders.

Smoothen the surface of the crust with the back of the spoon.

Pick crust with fork.

Cover pie dish with foil and pre-bake crust for 15 minutes.

Tips for the Perfect Low Carb Pie Crust:

Use room temperature eggs so the butter doesn’t solidify

Make sure the butter is completely melted. You want it to be liquid butter!

Don’t leave any gaps, in the crust when you spread and press out the dough against the pie dish. The filling will seep through otherwise

Don’t press the dough too hard against the top borders, or the cooked pie or quiche will be hard to slice and remove.
Make sure crust is tight after you press and smoothen so it holds together when baked, filled and baked.

Can you Store Coconut Flour Crust?

While a lot of recipes online say that you can’t, I actually did store my coconut crust in the fridge at it was just fine!

You can make the dough and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Place it in an airtight container conter.

Another option is to press the dough against the pie dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and then place the pie dish itself in the fridge. The same 3 days for storing applies here too.
