Chiffon fillings are made by adding gelatin to a cream filling or to a thickened fruit and juice mixture and then folding in egg whites and/or whipped cream. The mixture is then poured into baked pie shells and allowed to set.

These preparations are the same as chiffon desserts, bavarians, and some mousses and cold soufflés. To avoid unnecessary repetition, techniques and recipes for these products are included in Chapter 37 with other puddings and creams.
