FAQs
Can I use other nuts for the crust?
Yes, almonds, walnuts, or pecans work well as substitutes. Just make sure to blend them finely so the crust holds together.
Do I have to chill the tart before serving?
Chilling helps the crust firm up and the flavors to meld, so it’s recommended, but you can serve it immediately if you’re short on time.
