Another potential pitfall is overmixing the filling. I once got a bit too enthusiastic with my electric mixer and ended up with a filling that wasn’t as fluffy as I wanted it to be. Mixing the ingredients until just combined and then gently folding in the whipped cream really helps to maintain that lightness.
Finally, I’ve found that using a pie crust that is too wet can lead to a soggy bottom, so make sure to press your crust firmly and evenly. If your crust crumbles or isn’t holding together well, adding a bit more melted butter can help bring it all together.
