Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. The filling should be even and reach the edges of the crust.
- 415 min
Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 15 minutes. The edges should be firm and the center should not be liquid.
- 55 min
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This will help the pie set completely.
