Ingredients

1 batch low carb pie crust (prepared and baked)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup arrowroot powder (or cornstarch if you need something in a pinch)
4 large egg yolks , beaten with a fork
1 cup erythritol (see notes below)
1 teaspoon pure liquid stevia
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Over high heat and in a medium pot, combine the cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, egg yolks, sweetener, salt and vanilla using a whisk. The mixture will get clumpy and crumbly.
Quickly stir in about an 1/8 of a cup coconut milk, whisking the entire time. Add more milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly until you have incorporated all of the coconut milk. Take your time with this because you need the mixture in the pot to warm up between milk additions and you want the filling to be as smooth as possible for your pie.
By the time you finish adding the milk, you'll notice the filling starting to thicken. Continue to whisk, making sure to scrap the bottom of the pot to avoid burning.
Once the filling has thickened, remove from heat and pour the filling into your pie crust.
Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. If you will be leaving it in the fridge for longer then that before eating, make sure to cover it with plastic wrap or you will end up with spots on the top of the pie that look "dried out". If you get those, they are fine. There's nothing wrong with your pie. It's nothing a little whipped cream can't cover up!

Notes

Recipe Notes: If you want a truly sweet pie, use 1 1/2 cups granular low carb sweetener instead of just 1 cup. I prefer my desserts to not be overly sweet so I always cut down on the sweeteners. But most people would enjoy this with 1 1/2 cups sweetener.
