FAQs
Can I use regular whipped cream instead of frozen whipped topping?
Yes, homemade whipped cream can be used, but it should be stabilized to hold the pie’s structure well.
Is it necessary to freeze the pie overnight?
Freezing overnight helps the pie set firmly for clean slicing, but you can freeze for at least 4-6 hours if short on time.
