Can I make this pie ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the pie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. The flavors might even meld better after chilling for a few hours.

Can I freeze Chocolate Macaroon Pie? Yes, you can freeze the pie before or after baking. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw the frozen pie in the refrigerator before serving.
