Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Sure, if you love that extra texture. Just know it’ll change the smooth, creamy filling a bit. I’d recommend sticking with creamy for the classic version, but hey, it’s your pie—do what makes you happy.

How long can I freeze this pie?

It freezes like a dream. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and it’ll keep for up to a month. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving. Pro tip: Slice it before freezing so you can grab just one piece when the craving hits.

Can I make this without cream cheese?

I wouldn’t recommend it—the cream cheese gives the filling its structure and tangy balance. If you’re dairy-free, try a vegan cream cheese alternative, but test it first to make sure it whips up nicely. cottage cheese can sometimes be used as a substitute in certain recipes, but for this pie, cream cheese is key.

Why is my filling not setting?

This usually happens if the cream wasn’t cold enough when whipped or if you overmixed it. Make sure everything is chilled, and fold gently to keep it light and airy. If it’s still too soft, pop it in the freezer for an hour before serving.

Can I use a different crust?

Absolutely, Graham cracker crust is a classic, or try a gingersnap crust for a spicy twist. Just make sure to press it firmly so it holds together when sliced.
