 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I freeze this pie?

Yes! Freeze up to 1 month. Thaw 15–20 minutes before slicing.

2. Can I use a different nut butter?

Absolutely. Almond butter or sunflower seed butter works well.

3. Why is my filling too soft?

It likely needs more chilling time or your whipped cream wasn’t beaten to stiff peaks.

4. Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! It’s actually better made the day before serving.

5. Is this diabetic-friendly?

It can be, since it uses sugar substitutes, but always consult your healthcare provider.
