Notes
How to Freeze Pumpkin Pie to Make a Head of the Holidays
- For the best pie result, bake your pie in a disposable aluminum pie pan. Aluminum pans are thinner so they will freeze faster which will reduce the risk of ice crystals forming. Ice crystal formation could change the texture of the pie.
- Once the pie is cooled completely wrap in plastic wrap at least twice. Freeze the pie completely level for up to 1 month.
Defrosting the Pie
- Thawing the pie slowly is key to having the best-textured pie. Place the unwrapped pie in the refrigerator for 12 hours before you are ready to serve. If you thaw it on the counter the pie will create condensation which will cause the pie crust to be soggy. No one wants a soggy bottom pie. Enjoy with your favorite whipped cream!
