PRECAUTIONS:
1. Mixing gelatin with sugar before combining with the other ingredients for the custard, avoids lumping. Adding it in this manner also saves time and effort and the results are the same.

2. The stage at which the custard is sufficiently "set" to be added to the egg whites, is hard to describe. Too stiff, it will not blend. Not stiff enough, it will lose its light quality: If too stiff, the mixture can be heated ever so little and again allowed to set. The folding of the whites and custard should be complete.

3. Folding in the whipped cream does not have to be done as thoroughly.

4. A thin spreading of sweetened and sometimes flavored whipped cream over the set filling is the usual manner of serving this type of pie.

5. A nice variation of this is the Marshmallow Topping, 175.

6. Another is the Foamy Sauce, 176. Flavored as desired.
