FAQs

Can I make Pudgy Pie without a campfire pie iron?

Yes! You can cook the assembled pie in a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Press down gently with a spatula and cook until both sides are golden brown and the filling is warm.

What can I use instead of whipped cream cheese?

Regular cream cheese works well too. You can soften it beforehand for easier spreading. Alternatively, cream cheese mixed with a little honey or vanilla extract adds delicious flavor.
