I hate it when I follow a recipe but things just don’t work the way the recipe says they will – and it’s usually something silly and basic like non-peaky egg-whites! If I know I will be needing stiff peaks, I always make sure I get the eggs to room temperature before separating them. And yes to everything that has been said above about moisture-free, oil-free, yolk-free beaters and bowl. I do love that you snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and made a cream pie smoothie 🙂 Thanks for a great WTSIM contribution and hope to see you again next month.

Pies and I don’t get along; meringue and I get along even less… so I admire your courage to make something so daunting to me!! 🙂

Dairy Queen and Sonic’s restaurants will be asking for this recipe, I’m sure! 🙂
You are truly resourceful and creative! 🙂

KB – Anything that is dessert like that doesn’t turn out in this house gets turned into a mix in! We have all kinds of flavored shakes 🙂

Gigi – I’m glad I’m not alone. It is so frustrating, isn’t it?

Freya – I may give it another try, but after that I’m not sure it is worth the effort!

Ash – What is Italian meringue?

TW – I thought they should have peaked sooner. I didn’t add the cream of tarter because the recipe I had didn’t call for it. Next time I will do that!

Asha – Banana cream pie is my all time favorite. Yummy!

Marce – I’m going to have to look up recipes for those and will probably try that next time. Thanks!

Mom – I do miss Grandma’s pies, but yours are in the same category to me!

Kirsten – Yes… I think I was getting ahead of myself with this pie!

Jeff – It was great, thanks!

Brilynn – That’s what we do with everything that doesn’t turn out quite right! It’s a great way to "recycle!"

Martha – Thanks so much for the tip… I thought my stuff was dry and clean, but maybe not! Thanks for the compliment on the picture. Glad I got it before it turned into a disaster!

Elle – You can turn almost anything sweet into a mix in with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

Making the milkshake sounds like something my sweetie would like. He makes smoothies all the time. Must remember this ploy. It reminds me, in a very good way, of Julia Child. Bon appetit!

The pic looked great 😉
