Cook’s Note
Shoofly pie is traditionally served at room temperature. The filling will firm up as it cools. It’s also delicious slightly warmed with a dollop of whipped cream.
If you prefer a lighter flavor, substitute half of the molasses with dark corn syrup.
This is a great holiday dessert that you can make 1 to 2 days ahead. Let it cool completely, then cover loosely and store at room temperature. It actually tastes even better the next day!
