FAQs

1. Can I make Butterfinger Pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

2. Can I freeze Butterfinger Pie?
Freezing is not recommended because it can change the texture of the whipped topping. It’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated.

3. What can I use instead of Cool Whip?
You can make your own whipped cream by beating heavy cream with a little sugar until it forms stiff peaks. This will work as a substitute for Cool Whip.
