Für 6 Servings

Zutaten

1 Essl Unflavored gelatin (1 env.)

1/2 Tasse Sugar

1/4 TL Salt

4 Egg yolks

1/2 Tasse Lime juice

1/4 Tasse Water

1 TL Grated lime peel

Few drops green food color

4 Egg whites

1/2 Tasse Sugar

1 Tasse Heavy cream, whipped

1 9- in baked pastry shell

Pistachio nuts, chopped

Lime slices for garnish

Heavy cream, whipped, to top

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.
