Sheliajoyce, wow! Thank you, thank you! That is the recipe I used. In the early '80's when my dh had quadruple bypass surgery, I began using Dream Whip (remember dream whip?) for the whipping cream. It worked well enough. My daughter is coming for super on Thursday, I am going to surprise her! It was her "bestest" desert when she was growing up.

In that same book was a recipe for a soft drop sugar cookie that was made with stiffly beaten egg whites that were folded into the batter. They were a family favorite. I did find a passable substitute for that recipe, but never the pie.

I read all the sugar cookie recipes for one with stiffly beaten egg whites. I will see if I missed one maybe in the drop cookies.

OK, I found ONE drop cookie recipe with beaten egg whites. Hope this is it.

Thanks for the recipe, I just love anything lemon! I don't have a similar recipe but one of my favorites (taste and ease of prep) is Tracey's Lemon Sponge Pie. Since I'm out of pumpkin pie (finally, LOL) I think I need to make something lemon! Posted by TRACEYS (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 03 at 9:36 I use my moms pie crust recipe that uses lard but you can use whatever you prefer. If I can make a pie anyone can. LEMON SPONGE PIE 1 9" pie shell unbaked 2 Tablespoons flour 1 Tablespoon melted butter 1 Cup sugar 2 Eggs separated 1/8 Teaspoon salt Zest and juice of 1 lemon 1 Cup milk Beat egg whites until stiff. Combine butter, egg yolks, salt, lemon juice and zest, and sugar then and in flour and beat(I usually just use a whisk). Add milk and mix well. Fold in egg whites and pour into pie shell. Bake 10 minutes at 425 degrees. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for additional 30 minutes.

Thanks, Martha. I seldom have heavy cream on hand either, but have substituted whole milk in custards and it turned out OK, so this probably would too. I like the addition of brown sugar and I love cloves. I still think Ricky's maple syrup addition sounds wonderful, though, mmmm. Colleen, kobocha is called "Kent pumpkin"? I've heard of both, and never put them together as one thing. I have grown kobocha, and thought that Kent Pumpkin was just another pumpkin, so didn't even try that, and here I was, growing them all along. Annie

Do you serve it frozen?

No, the Williamsburg isn't it. This was a soft more cake like texture cookie. Took the usual amount of flour to sugar ratio. And the sugar was white granulated. The recipe that I use now is from an old PA Grange cookbook. It uses buttermilk, the egg whites aren't beaten separately, but the cookie is very close to the one I am missing..

Ruthig, yes the Mile High Pie is served frozen. And you need to know that the berries are the frozen sweetened type. The amount I don't remember other than that they came in the small square type container. I haven't noticed if berries still are packaged that way after all these years. Not something that I buy these days.

Gazania, I used to buy those small frozen square packages for a punch at the holidays.They had a lot of sweetened juice or syrup on them and were 10 ounces, which was probably the weight, not cup measure. They must have measured 1 1/2 cups at least or maybe 2 cups.
