Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make Millionaire Pie a day in advance. Just prepare and fill the pie shells, then refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just remember to cover them to prevent any absorption of odors from the fridge.
What if I don't have egg whites?
If you're out of egg whites, you can use a substitute like aquafaba, which is the liquid from canned chickpeas. Use three tablespoons of aquafaba for every egg white. Whip it until frothy before incorporating it into the mixture to achieve a similar texture.
Can I freeze Millionaire Pie?
Freezing is not recommended for this pie, as the texture may change and become watery upon thawing. However, you can freeze the pie shells separately. If you want to prepare in advance, make the filling and store it in the fridge, then fill the shells just before serving.
