For a crispy crust, dehydrate the macadamia nut base for 10-12 hours after spreading it in tart forms or a cake pan, or simply keep it in the refrigerator.

Do I need to peel the dates for the filling?

Yes, the recipe specifies soaking, pitting, and peeling the dates for the filling to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.

What kind of figs should I use for this pie?

Use ripe and soft figs for both the filling and for garnishing, as their natural sweetness and texture are key to the pie's flavor.

Can I make this pie without cacao powder?

Yes, the cacao powder in the filling is optional, so you can omit it if you prefer a pure fig and date flavor without any chocolate notes.

How should I store leftover Raw Fig Pie?
