What Are Cream Pies Usually Covered?
Cream pies are usually covered with whipped cream or meringue. The whipped cream is typically spread or piped onto the top of the pie and can be sweetened with sugar or flavored with vanilla. Meringue is a mixture of egg whites and sugar that is beaten until stiff and then spread over the pie and baked in the oven to create a golden topping. Both of these toppings provide a creamy and delicious addition to the pie filling.
