Jennifer Garner Instagram – #PretendCookingShow: Chiffon Pie. 🍓🥧🍑 #KitchenAidAmbassador Summertime for the Garner Girls: there was always a garden. Farmers markets were king. We ate dinner on the deck my dad built. And for dessert, we had mom’s chiffon pie. ☀️🥧 Mom’s pie had an irresistible crunch:chew ratio. Just sweet enough, not a bit more. And the filling—peaked whipped cream with berries and/or whatever stone fruit smelled fresh at the fruit stand—absolute summer heaven. Perfect for company, but with middle-of-the-week ease, this Southern Living standard felt just right for a Pretend Cooking Show with Pat Garner. My work with @kitchenaidusa comes honestly—everything from mom’s kitchen was mixed with a KitchenAid hand mixer, and it’s still true today. Case in point: beaten egg whites and whipped cream for your new favorite dessert. Let me know how it goes! #ad Peach Chiffon Pie from Southern Living Cookbook, 1989 Courtesy of Mrs. Clifford B.
