• Chill overnight for the firmest slice and best texture.

• Use a store-bought crust for convenience or make your own with crushed graham crackers and melted butter.

• Fresh Fruit Layer: Add sliced strawberries on top before chilling for added texture.

• Mini Pies: Use mini graham cracker crusts for individual servings—great for parties.

• Low Sugar Option: Use sugar-free Jello and light whipped topping to reduce calories.

• Iced coffee or cold brew for a refreshing contrast

• A crisp glass of sparkling rosé or lemonade

Popular Questions

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Yes, you can use homemade whipped cream, but be sure it’s stabilized with gelatin or cornstarch to maintain structure.

What’s the best way to keep the pie from cracking?

Make sure the filling is well blended and smooth. Chilling it for at least 3 hours will help it firm up evenly.

Can I use a different crust?

Absolutely. Oreo, vanilla wafer, or even pretzel crusts all work well depending on your flavor preferences.
