Cream pies and chiffon pies fill a shell that is prebaked. This shell type is categorized as which pie type?

Pie types are defined by how the filling is treated in the oven. Cream pies and chiffon pies use fillings that set without baking, so the crust is prebaked to create a firm, non-soggy base. Because the filling isn’t baked in the oven, this category is the unbaked (no-bake) pies. The other crust styles describe the crust’s appearance or construction, not whether the filling is baked, so they don’t define this pie type.
