Whipped Cream Tip: For best results, use chilled whipped cream and fold it gently into the condensed milk mixture. This maintains the pie’s light texture.
-
Chilling Time: Ensure the pie is well chilled before serving to achieve the ideal creamy texture. This step enhances the flavors and makes slicing easier.
