Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust?
Yes, while a Graham cracker crust is traditional, you can use a pre-made cookie crust or even a shortbread crust for a different flavor. Just ensure the crust is firm enough to hold the filling, and adjust the sweetness of the filling if the crust is sweeter.
How long does the pie need to set?
It's best to refrigerate the pie overnight to allow it to set properly. If you're short on time, aim for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for achieving the perfect texture and flavor balance.
Can I make this pie dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the condensed milk with a non-dairy alternative like coconut milk or almond milk mixed with a thickener such as cornstarch. For the sour cream, use a dairy-free yogurt or sour cream alternative to keep the recipe dairy-free while still enjoying its creamy texture.
