- Prepare the crust and filling early in the day so the pie can chill completely before your gathering—no last-minute stress.
- For the cleanest slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water, wiping between cuts to keep the layers neat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I make No Bake Grinch Pie ahead of time?
– Yes. You can assemble the entire pie up to 24 hours in advance. Keep it covered and refrigerated, then add the whipped cream and red heart sprinkles just before serving for the freshest look and texture. - Can I use a store-bought graham cracker crust?
– Absolutely. A prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust works great and saves a few minutes. Just pour in the filling and chill as directed. - How do I keep the pie from being too soft?
– Be sure to measure the milk accurately, whip the cream to soft peaks, and give the pie enough chilling time at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for a firm, sliceable texture. - Can I freeze this pie?
– You can freeze the pie (without whipped cream topping) for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving, then decorate with whipped cream and sprinkles.
