To serve, remove the pie from the freezer and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for a specified time, typically a few hours. This ensures the filling is perfectly set and the crust is ready to be sliced. Avoid thawing at room temperature, as this can affect the texture. Once thawed, it can be cut into wedges and served chilled. For an enhanced presentation, consider topping with whipped cream or fresh fruit slices just before serving.
