Grandma's Secret Tip
When she had no piecrust on hand, Grandma didn't panic. She simply served the lemon pie filling as a mousse. She spooned the mixture into sherbet glasses or custard cups and chilled it until it was set. Then she topped each serving with some whipped topping or real whipped cream.
