5. Prepare coco-whip. With a hand blender or whisk, whip up the coconut cream (reserve coconut water for smoothies or slurping up later!), with maple crystals and vanilla until frothy. Spread on top of pie and lick the spoons!
6. Sprinkle hazelnuts and other toppings on top of pie for the ultra beautification process to be complete...and..SPREAD THE LOVE! Refrigerate to preserve the delightful, creamy texture of the coco-whip. If you must, freeze the pie for later in pre-cut slices and let thaw out completely before serving.

Wow! This is purely restaurant-quality food. Actually, I’m sure it’s even better than what you’d find in a restaurant! I am so jealous of your photography skills and recipe-creating abilities :) This looks absolutely divine and something that I could devour in minutes. Almond butter is definitely one of my top three favourite foods, and I can’t go a day without it. This recipe looks like something that will help me make that quota, haha! I’m so glad I discovered your blog and will definitely be back for more delicious recipes and awesome photos. Hope to see more nut-butter goodness! Happy Friday :)
Oh gosh yes. You are totally making me drool here! Coconut whipped cream is one of my favourites.
Awwwwww! Thanks SO much for the sweet words. This was one of our favorite pies ever…..and you should definitely devour it fresh, not frozen, because the coco-whip is sooooo creamy, frothy, silky, and smooth fresh! It pops up in my dreams every once in awhile… :D
