Garnish pie with remaining dream whip.

NOTES : This is one of Aunt Virgys specialties along with mock chicken legs. Aunt Virgy is a wonderful dinner guest. In the "old days" when we barbequed with the Weber grill, we would serve her hamburgers that resembled charcoal briquettes and she would ask for the recipe. She would describe her method of preparing dinner as "throwing something together". She is a great listener and is a special friend to my mother. I am blessed to have her as my godmother.
