Yes! This pie is actually better when made a day ahead. The flavors develop and the texture becomes perfect.
Why didn’t my pudding thicken?
Make sure you’re using cold milk and whisking vigorously for the full 2 minutes. Room temperature milk won’t activate the pudding properly.
Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely. Just use two pie crusts and double all the ingredients. The preparation steps stay exactly the same.
What’s the best way to cut clean slices?
Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water, and wipe it clean between each cut. This prevents the layers from getting messy.
How do I know when it’s set enough to serve?
The chocolate layer should be firm to the touch and not jiggle when you gently shake the pie pan.
