Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider using homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. If you prefer a richer pie, substitute heavy cream for half and half. For additional texture, you can add chopped nuts or other cookies to the filling. Make sure to let the pie sit at room temperature for a bit before serving to make slicing easier.
