- Pour the filling over the chilled crust in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Optional: Sprinkle vegan chocolate chips on top of the filling for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips
- Soaking the cashews overnight helps to achieve a smoother texture for the filling.
- If you don’t have coconut cream, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead.
- Experiment with different toppings like fresh berries, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts for added flavor and texture.
