FAQs

Can I make this pie in advance?

Yes, it’s perfect for making a day ahead. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Yes, though it will change the texture slightly. Crunchy peanut butter adds a bit of bite to the smooth filling.

Is marshmallow fluff the same as melted marshmallows?

Not quite. Marshmallow fluff has a smoother, spreadable consistency. You can use melted mini marshmallows in a pinch, but the texture may vary.

Can I use store-bought whipped topping?

Yes, you can substitute the homemade whipped cream with an 8 oz container of whipped topping for convenience.

What can I use instead of graham crackers?

Try digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or crushed pretzels for a sweet-salty crust.

How long does it need to chill?

At least 4 hours is recommended, but overnight is best for a firmer slice.

Can I make this pie gluten-free?

Yes, simply use gluten-free graham crackers or another gluten-free cookie for the crust.

Will the pie hold up at room temperature?

It will hold up for a short period (30–45 minutes), but it’s best served cold for optimal texture and flavor.

What’s the best way to slice this pie?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between slices for the cleanest cuts.

Can I add a chocolate ganache topping?

Absolutely. A thin layer of ganache spread over the top after chilling adds a rich finishing touch.
