White Christmas Pie is an old fashioned recipe from decades ago, that is sure to surprise you with how delicious it is! My grandmother used to make a version of this when I was a little girl- I’m so happy to bring you this recipe for the Holidays!
When I was a child, my grandmother always made this pie but called it amish fluff pie. It was always my favorite. When she passed away, i continued making it every christmas I am so glad happy to be able to continue a holiday tradition.
I topped it with cherries but strawberries would work as well or even blueberries!
This pie is so easy to make and the flavor and lightness of the filling is outstanding– its a huge hit where ever its served!
The delicious coconut in the filling really sets it off flavor wise! it’s not too heavy, and just the perfect dessert to enjoy after Christmas dinner.
I used to make these and give them to friends and family for the holidays, they all constantly ask me to make them pies, but since my new baby daughter got her last month I dont have time!
This pie is wonderful for bake sales, pot lucks, holiday dessert or just an amazing light dessert that the entire family will be thanking you for!

- Transfer the filling to a large mixing bowl, and whip just to make the mixture creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, the whipped egg whites, and 3/4 cup of the shredded coconut with a rubber spatula until combined.
- Transfer the filling into the baked and cooled pie shell, spreading the top into an even layer with the rubber spatula.
- Whip the two cups of heavy cream to stiff peaks and using a large pastry bag with a large star tip, make a decorative top over the filling and then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded coconut over the top.
- Top with cherries and serve!
