Do you need a great coffee chiffon pie recipe? A coffee chiffon pie has a light and creamy coffee flavored filling, similar to a mousse. A coffee custard filling is combined with either original whipped cream or beaten egg white to give it its airy texture. While egg whites do produce a lighter, airier filling, using whipped cream avoids the problems created by using uncooked eggs in food. If you'd like to use egg whites anyway, just substitute 4 egg whites that have been beaten with with 1/2 cup of sugar until stiff for the whipped cream called for in the recipe. the pie will take several hours for the gelatin to set, so make sure to plan on making it the night before or early in the day you plan to serve it.
