• Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk for a creamy and rich filling.
• If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the pie chilled for the best texture and flavor.
• Garnish with fresh lime slices or whipped coconut cream for an extra touch.
• If you want to make the pie ahead of time, you can freeze it for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
