Can I use fresh whipped cream instead of cool whip?
Yes, freshly whipped cream works well and adds a light, airy texture. Just be sure to fold it in gently to keep the filling fluffy.
Is this pie safe to eat with raw eggnog?
This recipe uses store-bought pasteurized eggnog, which is safe to consume raw. Avoid homemade eggnog with raw eggs unless it has been properly pasteurized.
