FAQs

Q: Can I make this pie ahead?
A: Yes. Make it a day before and keep it in the fridge. It will be set and ready to serve.

Q: Can I use low-fat ingredients?
A: The texture may change with low-fat cream. For best result, use full-fat heavy whipping cream.

Q: What if I do not have green food coloring?
A: The pie will still taste the same without coloring. The mint syrup often gives some green color already.

Q: Can I make it without sweetened condensed milk?
A: You can try a different sweetener, but condensed milk helps the filling set. Substitutes may change texture.
