Can you make pistachio cream pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can make pistachio cream pie ahead of time. It can be prepared 1 to 2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. The pie needs at least 2 hours to chill, but chilling for 4 to 6 hours or overnight produces a cleaner slice.

How long does pistachio cream pie need to chill?

The pie must chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set properly. For the best results and cleaner slices, chill the pie for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. The filling will remain softer than a baked custard pie, which is typical for no-bake pudding desserts.

Can you freeze pistachio cream pie?

Yes, pistachio cream pie freezes well. After the pie is fully chilled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, and it will keep for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw the pie overnight in the refrigerator before slicing.

Why is my pistachio cream pie filling runny?

A runny filling usually means the pudding mix did not thicken enough. Always use cold milk and beat the pudding mix for the full 2 minutes as directed. If the cream cheese or butter was too cold, the mixture may not incorporate smoothly, so let them soften to room temperature for about 30 minutes before beating.
