Could you use tofu instead of coconut milk?
yes
I’m going to try this out. I like the idea of using coconut in the crust.
I was wondering if you have tried making this pie with a flavorful squash, such as kabucha squash?
I haven’t. I think the squash might be a little bland. Sweet potatoes are a bit more rich in flavor.
Could I use blanched almonds ( soaked) or white beans in place of cashews? Will it alter the flavor?
The blanched almonds would work but I think the beans would taste weird
The pie is in the oven! We looove the nut free sweet potato topping, can’t wait to try the pie!
Can you explain why you call out for deglet dates instead of medjool dates and if I can substitute medjool dates in this? Looks delicious.
You can use medjools. I use deglet because they are much more affordable.
What substitute would you recommend for the coconut in the crust? I can’t stand coconut 🤢
Almond flour
This pie was amazing! So creamy and yummy. Easy to put together. I’ll be making this one again.
