Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of heavy cream?
The heavy cream gets whipped as part of the process, so you need it liquid to start. Stick with the recipe as written for best results.
What if my pudding doesn’t thicken?
Keep whisking for the full 2 minutes. If it’s still thin, let it sit for 5 minutes before folding it in.
How do I know when it’s ready to serve?
The filling should be firm when you gently shake the pan. If it’s still jiggly, give it more time in the fridge.
Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely. Make two pies or use a larger pan. The chilling time stays the same.
What if I don’t have a graham cracker crust?
You can use a regular pie crust, but graham crackers really complement the peanut butter flavor perfectly.
