Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of crust?
Absolutely! A graham cracker crust works wonderfully if you prefer it over chocolate. Both options taste delicious with the peanut butter filling.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie is perfect for making ahead. It actually tastes even better after a day in the fridge, as the flavors meld together.

How should I store leftover pie?
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It should last 3-4 days, though it’s so good it might not last that long!

Can I use whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream?
Yes, you can substitute with a whipped topping if you’re short on time. However, freshly whipped cream gives the pie a better flavor and texture.

What type of peanut butter works best?
Regular creamy peanut butter is ideal. Avoid natural peanut butter, as the oils can separate and affect the texture of the filling.

Is it possible to make this pie gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just use gluten-free cookies for the crust, and ensure any toppings you use are also gluten-free.

Can I freeze this pie?
Yes, you can freeze it, though the texture may be a bit different. Thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
