chiffon pie
Airy cream tart
A chiffon pie has a light, airy filling made by folding whipped cream or beaten egg whites into a flavored base, then setting it in a prebaked crust.
The filling gets its distinctive fluffy texture from gelatin, which stabilizes the foam while keeping it delicate.
Common varieties include lemon chiffon, chocolate chiffon, and pumpkin chiffon.
The dessert became popular in American home cooking during the mid-twentieth century.
