Helpful Tips
If you’re new to baking pies, consider using a store-bought crust to cut down on prep time. For a dairy-free option, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a creamy yet distinct flavor. To make the pie even more special, try adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the filling.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This pie is best served chilled or at room temperature.
