    This recipe will make 3 mini patriotic pies, enough for everyone to get their own at your next gathering. You can easily double the recipe to serve more people such as for a July 4th gathering.

    mini pies with blueberries, coconut and strawberries

    Ingredients

    • strawberries
    • blueberries
    • coconut milk
    • shaved coconut
    • keebler mini pie crusts
    • honey (optional)

    How do make patriotic fruit pies

    You will need to plan ahead and put the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. Place the coconut milk toward the back so it gets really cold and the coconut milk separates from the coconut water.

    In the morning, open the can, pour out the water and scoop out only the coconut milk.

    Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk well until the coconut milk resembles whipped topping.  You can add some honey to sweeten the coconut milk, if you prefer things a little sweeter.

    Wash the strawberries and blueberries. Cut the green tops off the strawberries and slice them lengthwise.

    Place the berries on top of the patriotic dessert pies and put the shredded coconut down the middle. Keep the fruit pies in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.

    Equipment

    • Stand mixer with whisk attachment

    Ingredients

    • 3 strawberries
    • 15 blueberries
    • 1 can coconut milk 13.66 fl oz
    • 2 tablespoons shaved coconut
    • 3 keebler mini pie crusts

    Instructions

    • Place a can of coconut in the fridge overnight. Place it to the back so it gets really cold and the coconut milk separates from the coconut water.
    • Open and scoop out just the coconut milk. Using a stand mixer with whisk attachment, whisk well until the coconut milk resembles whipped topping.  If you would like to sweeten it, you can add a little honey. We don't add it but some people want the sweetness.
    • Place the whipped coconut cream into the mini pies. Wash strawberries and blueberries. Cut the tops off the strawberries. Slice the strawberries lengthwise.
    • Place the berries on top of the pies and put the shaved coconut down the middle. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I make these patriotic dessert pies ahead of time?

    You can make them a day ahead of time and cover them loosely with plastic wrap before refrigerating.

    What other kind of fruit can I use in these pies?

    You can replace the strawberries with raspberries. If you are not making these for a patriotic holiday, you can really use a number of different fruits. Kiwi, pineapple, etc...

    Can I use coconut cream instead of coconut milk in this pie recipe?

    You can substitute an equal amount of coconut cream for the coconut milk.

    Since they were very small, I have been cooking with my children. Kids may pick up a lot of knowledge by helping out in the kitchen. I adore Raddish because of this. It's a kids' subscription kit that instructs them in cooking and so much more!
