4. Now add the butter and pulse until its all well mixed
5. Turn this out into a 9-inch (23cm) pie plate you’ve sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
6. Press firmly into place, building up the sides
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until starting to turn golden
8. Cool before filling
9. Put 45 g of the Angel-Flaked Coconut in the pie shell, spreading evenly
10. Set aside
11. Pour the low-carb into a mixing bowl and add the 1 1/2 packages pudding mix
12. Whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes
