Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk and almond milk. Heat until warm but not boiling.

6. Let the pie cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
7. Before serving, top the pie with dairy-free whipped topping, spreading evenly over the surface.
8. Optionally, garnish with dairy-free chocolate shavings for a decorative and flavorful touch.
9. Serve chilled and enjoy!
