Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why did my pie crack on top?

This happens when pie cools too quickly. Let it cool at room temperature gradually.

→ Is the center supposed to be gooey?

It should be slightly soft when warm but set when cooled. If too gooey, bake a few minutes longer.

→ Can I make this ahead?

Yes, up to 2 days ahead. Store covered at room temperature or refrigerate if longer.

→ Why did my M&Ms sink?

Toss them in a bit of flour before adding to help them stay suspended in the batter.

→ Can I freeze this pie?

Yes, wrap well and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge before serving.
