Is there a vegetarian version of this recipe?

This recipe is already vegetarian. Just ensure all ingredients, like the chocolate, are vegetarian-friendly (some brands may contain non-vegetarian additives).

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture, which could make the pie soggy.

Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure all other ingredients (like baking powder) are gluten-free certified.

Can I freeze the pie for later use?
