Ah, the whipped cream or ice cream question. If you heat the pie, cold toppings are non-negotiable. The hot-cold dynamic is what makes this dessert legendary—it’s like a rollercoaster for your tongue.
But here’s my hot take: don’t heat the pie with the whipped cream already on top. That’s a one-way ticket to Sweet Soup Town, population: disappointment. Apply whipped cream or ice cream right before you take a bite, like a beautiful, dairy-based firework.
