Notes
I would suggest making the pie a couple of days in advance. Wrap it well and store in the refrigerator. Simply take it out of the refrigerator Thanksgiving morning and set it in a corner to come to room temperature before dinner time.
Nutritional Info does not include whipped cream.
VARIATIONS
For a Paleo friendly version, replace the Swerve sweetener with finely granulated coconut sugar.

Is coconut cream the same as coconut milk?
Coconut milk has the liquid consistency of cow’s milk and is made from simmering one part shredded coconut in one part water. Coconut milk is the basis of most Thai curries.
Coconut cream is much thicker and richer. It is made from simmering four parts shredded coconut in one part water.
