Tips and Tricks

The pie is done when the center reaches 200°F. (You can take this with an instant read thermometer.) It should not be liquidy, but it will puff up in the oven. (The puffiness will fall when it cools.)
If you tap the center of the pie, it should spring back when done.
Let cool for 1 ½ to 2 hours at room temperature before wrapping in plastic and storing the refrigerator.
