How can I tell if the pie has chilled long enough to set properly?

The pie should be firm to the touch and hold its shape when sliced after at least 1 hour of chilling. If the filling seems loose or wobbly, allow it to chill for an additional 30 minutes to ensure the flavors meld and the texture stabilizes.

Can I substitute the cashews or almond flour with another nut or flour?

For a similar flavor and texture, you could replace cashews with finely chopped macadamia nuts or pistachios. Almond flour can be substituted with hazelnut flour, but these changes may slightly alter the flavor profile of the dessert.

What is the role of The Coconut Collab Plant-Based Double Cream in this recipe?

The Coconut Collab Plant-Based Double Cream adds richness and a creamy texture to the pie filling without using dairy. It also helps the filling achieve a smooth, luxurious consistency that sets well after chilling.

Can this dessert pie be made ahead of time or frozen for later use?

Yes, this pie can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving. However, freezing is not recommended as the texture of the filling may become grainy or separate upon thawing.
