Diabetic-Friendly Coconut Cream Pie Dip
Low carb • Sugar-free cream dip, toasted coconut on top — 15 minutes, eight scoops

Health notes
- Protein: Low. This is a cream dip, not a protein snack.
- Lower carb than coconut cream pie: No crust, no sugar filling. Not keto-zero. 3g net is the coconut and cream cheese.
- Eight scoops: Macros are per scoop of dip, not the cookie.
- Sugar cookies, pudding mix, or sweetened coconut will jump the carbs. Stay with unsweetened flakes and allulose.
Key element — soft cream cheese, whip the cream, toast the coconut
Cold cream cheese lumps. Soften it first, then beat it with allulose and coconut extract until it is smooth. Fold in whipped cream so the dip stays light, like the bowl in the photo. Toast unsweetened coconut in a dry pan until gold — sweetened flakes add sugar. Chill 5 minutes so a cookie can scoop a clean mound.
Ingredients
Dip (8 scoops)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1/3 cup powdered allulose
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- Pinch of salt
For dipping
- Low-carb shortbread or almond-flour cookies
- Sliced strawberries
- Coconut chips
Swaps
- Coconut cream: Beat 2 Tbsp thick coconut cream into the cream cheese for extra coconut taste.
- No extract: Use 1/4 cup toasted coconut blended into the dip, then more on top.
- Sugar or pudding mix: Skip them. That is how carbs jump.
- Sweetened coconut: Skip it. Toast unsweetened flakes only.
Instructions
| 1 | Toast. Stir unsweetened coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes until gold. Cool. |
| 2 | Beat. Beat softened cream cheese, allulose, coconut extract, vanilla, and salt until smooth. No lumps. |
| 3 | Whip. In a second bowl, whip cold cream to soft peaks. Fold it into the cream cheese. |
| 4 | Top. Spread in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the top, like the photo. |
| 5 | Chill. Chill 5 minutes so a scoop holds. One rounded spoonful is one serving. Cookies are extra. |
Pro tips
- Soften the cream cheese. Cold blocks stay lumpy.
- Whip the cream separately. Stirred-in cream stays thin.
- Allulose, not sugar. That is how 3g net stays 3g net.
- Toast unsweetened coconut only. Sweetened flakes add sugar.
- Count the cookie on the side. The card is dip only.
