- For a thicker filling, you can add an extra egg yolk.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk in the refrigerator for a few minutes before whisking the filling. This will help the filling thicken faster.
- Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator. This will prevent condensation from forming on the surface of the pie.
