  1. Love that this is grain free and sugar free. Any recomendations on making it dairy free as well?

  2. Hi Michelle! Great question. You can substitute the dairy with coconut milk, soy milk or even silken tofu. The silken tofu will give you a creamier texture.

  3. Julianna - Thanks for catching that typo - Use 1/2 teaspoon Kal Stevia for the pie filling. We'd love to know how your pie turns out.
