Recipe
In 1-quart saucepan combine gelatin and salt. Beat egg yolks with 1/3 cup water, lime juice and 1 tablespoon lime peel. Add to gelatin mixture and cook over medium heat until mixture reaches 165 degrees and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set aside until cooled to room temperature.
Beat egg white substitute with remaining 1 cup of the water, gradually adding sugar. Fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture. Add food coloring, if desired. Pour into crust and refrigerate 1 hour. Garnish with whipped cream and grated lime peel. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
