Why do I need to soak the Medjool dates for the caramel?

Soaking the Medjool dates in hot water for 15 minutes softens them, making them easier to blend into a smooth, creamy puree for the salted caramel layer.

Can I use a different nut meal for the crust instead of almond meal?

The recipe specifically calls for almond meal, which provides a fine texture and mild flavor. Substituting with another nut meal might alter the crust's consistency and taste.

How long does the pie need to freeze to set properly?

The pie requires approximately 3 hours in the freezer to set completely, ensuring firm layers for easy slicing and serving.

What type of coconut milk should I use for the chocolate mousse?

For the creamiest chocolate mousse, use full-fat coconut milk, as specified in the ingredients, to achieve a rich and decadent texture.

How should I store leftover slices of this no-bake pie?

Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw slightly before serving for the best texture.
