White Pie

This is an unusual pie recipe that was given to my Mother years ago and I still make it. It is always enjoyed and loved by everyone! It is easy to make because most of the items are readily available.

Source: This recipe came from my minister's wife years ago when I was young. It was given to my mother and our whole family has went by the recipe for years. I made it for my children when they were young and still at home. Since that time, I have read online about the recipe originating from a small restaurant in southern Illinois called Burton's Cafe.

I am not sure where it originates from, but it sure is good! For those of you who are not familiar or are too young for the term (haha),"oleo" is just butter or margarine. I hope many of you will try it. It's a great recipe and very cost cutting to make.

I couldn't copy that fast enough. Thank you so much. I had one like this years ago but lost it.
Around the Holidays, I add cranberry sauce to the filling. It makes a great Holiday pie.

My grandmother was Dorothy Dann, wife of Paul Dann Sr. Who was a minister in Benton and Marion. Might it have been her who gave your family the recipe?

I've also hears it originated at Burton's cafe, but we all understood my grandma made it up or modified it to suit. My grandfather had stomach issues and couldn't eat nuts. The Burton's recipe has almonds in it.
My grandma used 4 egg whites beaten stiff, folded into the pudding mixture. She topped that with cool whip and a shaved chocolate bar. The pie stood about 4 inches thick or more. Like eating a sweet cloud.
It's been a Christmas tradition I our family as long as I can remember

Is it safe to use egg whites without cooking?

As long as you don't have health concerns, it should be fine. Pasteurized eggs reduce the risk too.
