Recipe Tips That Worked for Me
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for a smooth filling. Start mixing with the paddle attachment, then switch to a whisk when adding the pudding mix.
- For the crust, finely crush the graham crackers and mix well with melted butter to help it hold together—chilling the crust while making the filling also helps.

How to Store and Freeze
Refrigerator: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezer: I do not recommend freezing pudding pies as it would affect the creamy consistency and overall presentation, so it’s best enjoyed fresh or after being chilled in the fridge.

There's no need to since the graham crackers are already baked. It holds up well after simply chilling.
Pie weights are used during blind baking to keep the crust from puffing up or shrinking. You can use store-bought weights, or DIY with dried beans, rice, or even sugar—just line the crust with parchment or foil first.
