2 cups fat-free whipped topping
2 tablespoons ground almonds

I made this pie when I lived at home and have made it down through the years. It is excellent! It is different than any pie you will ever make. So easy!

I grew up in Benton, near Whitrington. My, then, step-mom was the niece of the lady who makes the pies at Burton's. She had the recipe and made white pie all of the time. I don't have the recipe, but I remeber it invloved marshmallow cream in the filling. You might try to incorporate that.

My Great Great Grandma is the one who invented the White Pie and my family is the own who owned Burton Cafe. Great PIE!

Wow! I made this because it sounded so different, but man did my family love it. My husband found this pie to be especially "uneven", requiring multiple trips to the fridge to "even" the edges. Wonderful, wonderful recipe.
