Tips:

  • Choose the right crust: For a light and cool pie, opt for a graham cracker crust or a cookie crust. These crusts are easy to make and don't require any baking.
  • Use fresh fruits: Fresh fruits are the star of any summer pie. Choose fruits that are in season and at their peak of ripeness.
  • Don't overfill the pie: Too much filling can make the pie difficult to slice and serve. Fill the pie crust no more than 2/3 full.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This will make the pie even more delicious and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Light and cool pies are the perfect dessert for summer. They are easy to make, require no baking, and are packed with fresh fruits. With a few simple tips, you can make a light and cool pie that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
