the filling is white and it is topped with white whipped cream.
Probably another Depression Era dessert. There are variations on the
'Net.

I'm trying to wrap my head around uncooked eggwhites added to cooled
other things. Maybe they mean 'just a little cooled?

For an example, think of Angel Food Cake preparation. Nothig is hot
or warm there. Cooked egg whites aren't going to be able to be beaten
to peaks. Nor is the beaten mixture supposed to be cooked by the
batter.

Ok, I see. They are the topping.

no, they are folded into the rest of the ingredients that have let
come to room temperature. They fluff the rest of the ingredients.
Then the mixture is put in the pie shell. Then all is refrigerated.
Then all is topped with whipped cream.

I don't rule them out. One of my favourite Magaurita recipes called for
lime juice, sugar, teguila, Triple Sec, ice and an egg white. Whiz it
up in a blender. The egg whites make it nice and foamy.

That seems like a "no-bake" version of the water pie I posted above,
plus eggs. Perhaps this would be more rich than my recipe.

Reading about your water pie made me think of the snow pie. I hadn't
thought of it in years. I would think it would be more flavorful than
the Water Pie.
