Note

For a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese, coconut yogurt, and a vegan pudding mix.

Gingersnaps provide a spicy contrast to the sweet filling, while chocolate chips offer a richer, deeper flavor. Choose based on preference.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.

The pie must be chilled thoroughly to set properly. Do not skip the chilling step.

Leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cookies for the crust.
