Tired of soggy pie crusts and whipped cream that goes flat? Get Sara Moulton's secrets to the perfect dessert!

Whipped Cream: To prevent fresh whipped cream from going flat or getting watery before it is served, combine a bit of cream and a marshmallow cut into cubes in a saucepan, melt, and add fold the mixture into your whipped cream before refrigerating. The peaks will be stiff later when you’re ready to serve.

Pie Crust: Add crushed cookie crumbs or plain bread crumbs to the bottom of the pie crust before adding filling and baking. The crumbs will absorb any moisture so the crust is not soggy. To avoid over baking and suffering a burnt crust, try using a glass pie dish in the oven so you can see when it is ready.
