Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute with almond milk, coconut milk, or any other non-dairy milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly, especially with non-dairy alternatives.
What can I do if my pie doesn't set properly?
If your pie doesn't set after baking, it might need more time in the oven. Make sure to check it at 45 minutes and bake until the center is firm. If it’s still runny, cover it loosely with foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Can I freeze Nanna's Crazy Coconut Custard Pie?
Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the custard. However, if you must, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to protect from freezer burn, and consume it within a month. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
