Make ahead?

It's a great make ahead! You can make the pie a day or two in advance and store, covered, at room temp (no need to refrigerate).

I've never tried it with this specific recipe, but it should definitely be made ahead...every pumpkin pie i've encountered need to be chilled for at least for at least 2 hours so the custard filling can set so it's no longer runny, and this recipe says it needs to be cooled completely as well.
