Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie in advance?
Yes, this pie can be made a day ahead of time. Simply prepare it, place it in the pie shell, and store it in the freezer. Just remember to let it thaw in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving to achieve the best texture.
Is it possible to make this pie without dairy?
Absolutely! You can use almond or oat milk in place of regular milk and choose dairy-free whipped topping to create a delicious dairy-free version. Ensure the pudding mix is dairy-free as well, which may require checking the packaging.
