Tips:
- Make sure to use unsweetened coconut flakes for the pie crust to avoid an overly sweet crust.
- If you don't have coconut oil, you can substitute unsalted butter or another neutral-flavored oil.
- Be careful not to overmix the pie dough, as this can make the crust tough. Mix just until the ingredients come together.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade almond extract instead of store-bought.
- Be patient when baking the pie. It's important to let it cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to set.
