- To make whipped cream, beat 1/2 cup very cold whipping cream until stiff.
- Chill the bowl before whipping the cream to improve the results.

Where has this pie crust been my whole life? I can make pastry but really dislike the mess of it all. I can see eliminating the sugar and using it for Quiches too. On to the pie itself...... it was easy to make and delicious to eat. An ideal dessert! We thought it was sweet and rich enough as it was so elected to skip the whipped cream topping.

Delicious! I typically avoid rolled pie crusts like the plague, so this press-in-pan version was perfect for me! I misread the amount of sugar for the crust, so I added a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon, but it turned out just fine. My pie dish was a little too shallow to hold everything without overflow, so I just took one of those disposable foil pizza pans and cupped it around the pie dish to catch any spillage. I didn't have time to make the fresh whipped cream, so I just served this with some canned whipped cream instead. It's pretty messy if you don't chill it long enough (which I didn't), but it was super-tasty even though it wasn't entirely cohesive. My coworker and I (the only 2 people who have tried it yet) both give it two thumbs up. Thanks for posting! Made for CQ 2017 Wales

Great Crust! I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white, and e.v.o.o. instead of canola. Oh, and club soda instead of milk. It started out really runny but I added more white flour until I liked the consistency (and a little more sugar), and then used just enough of the dough to cover the pan nicely. This is the lightest and yummiest crust I have ever made (plain white flour pie crusts included!)
