- Take off the Vitamix lid and lay to the side.
- Pour filling into the pie crust, using a spoon if necessary to scrape the sides.
- With a spoon, smooth the filling on the top so that it is evenly spread.
- Place the pie crust on a countertop and grab each side with your hands. Slowly lift the pie 1/2 inch off the countertop and gently let go. It should make a soft thump. This is to get rid of any air in the mixture. You will see small bubbles in the pie filling. Repeat 5-7 times.
