1. Can I prepare the pie ahead of time?

Yes! You can definitely make this pie the night before. Just store it at room temperature and reheat it in the oven at a low temperature (about 200°F) before serving to keep it warm.

2. Can I substitute the pie crust for something else?

Absolutely! If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free pie crust. Alternatively, a graham cracker crust or even a shortbread cookie crust works wonderfully to give it a unique twist!

3. How should I store any leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days. If you’d like it to last longer, refrigerate it for up to 7 days.

4. Can I freeze this pie?

Yes, this pie freezes really well! After baking and cooling, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve, just thaw overnight in the fridge and warm individual slices in the microwave.

5. Can I customize the ingredients?

For sure! You can switch out the chocolate chips for butterscotch or white chocolate chips. If you don’t like coconut, you can leave it out and add more pretzels or nuts. This pie is super flexible!
