FAQs
Q: Can I make this in a small baking dish instead of a pie dish?

A: Move the dish away from the broiler or turn the broiler off and use the oven at 350°F for a few minutes until browned.
Q: Can I use vegan chocolate or non-dairy milk?
A: Yes. Use vegan chocolate chips and plant milk for a dairy-free version.
Q: Is this safe for kids?
A: Yes, but watch the hot dish and oven when broiling. Let the dish cool a bit before serving to small hands.
