Combine the potato starch and coconut milk in a small bowl and whisk. Set aside.
In a pot, dry toast the pecans on medium heat for 1-minute until warmed. Turn down the heat to a simmer and add the coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir.
Then, add the coconut milk and potato starch mixture. Stir until smooth.
Pour pie mixture into the unbaked prepared pie crust. Bake for 30 minutes. Let it cool fully then refrigerate in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy! Top with coconut whipped cream!
Notes
Don’t use a pie crust that’s already baked. Get an unbaked pre-prepared pie crust or make your own!
Make sure to let it set in the fridge overnight for at least 8 hours to firm up. This is essential! If you are planning to make this for the holidays, make it the day before to prep.
Store leftover pie in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Feel free to substitute corn starch for potato starch, either will work.
