This is a perfect after-dinner treat to have in the freezer when you need a little something. It’s decadent with a dollop of whip cream or served over vanilla ice cream. It’s a fun dessert to entertain with using espresso cups and stress-free since it’s make-ahead.

Read MoreIf you are not a pastry person (I’m not!), go ahead: buy the frozen crust. This is my favourite pie, so I try to figure out ways to stretch Thanksgiving and Halloween to enjoy it a few more times.
