Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
To prevent creamy pies from becoming smashed in the refrigerator by other objects, Grandma taped an empty inverted foil pie pan over the top of the pie before storing. This type of cover also kept the pie's surface neat by avoiding contact with plastic wrap. Grandma added the whipped topping and coconut garnishes just before serving the pie, so it always arrived at the table picture-perfect.
