    BH&G Dessert Cookbook

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (1 env.)
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 egg yolks
    1/2 cup lime juice
    1/4 cup water
    1 teaspoon grated lime peel
    few drops green food color
    4 egg whites
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 cup heavy cream whipped
    1 9 in baked pastry shell
    pistachio nuts chopped
    lime slices for garnish
    heavy cream, whipped to top

    Recipe



    Thoroughly mix gelatin, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in saucepan. Beat together egg yolks, lime juice, and water; stir into gelatin mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat just till mixture comes to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in grated peel. Add food coloring sparingly to tint pale green. Chill, stirring occasionally, until the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.

    Beat egg whites till soft peaks form; gradually add 1/2 c sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites. Fold in whipped cream. Pile into cooled baked pastry shell. Chill till firm. Spread with more whipped cream; edge with grated lime peel. Sprinkle chopped pistachio nuts in center. Garnish with thinly sliced lime placed in whipped cream mounds around edge of pie. Serves 6.
