My questions are in regards to the almond milk pie. How long do you have to
bake the pie before the almond milk thickens? Do you have to be careful of
it foaming up in the oven, or does the more gentle heat prevent that from
happening?
Secondly, if one makes the almond cream or "cheese", thickening the milk on
the stovetop and draining out the liquids after thickening, can one use the
resulting "cheese" in baking in a manner similar to cream cheese? I'm
contemplating trying a non-period recipe that calls for cream cheese but
substituting almond "cheese" instead.
Many thanks,
