Can You Make Chocolate Cream Pie Ahead of Time?
Make Ahead, Store, And Freeze:
This pie can be made 1-2 days ahead of time. Refrigerate it gently wrapped in plastic wrap.
The pie can be frozen for up to 3 months (though we think the taste and texture are less appealing after freezing). Allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
