     Title: Americana Key Lime Pie
Categories: Desserts, Pies
  Servings:  6

      1 tb Unflavored gelatin (1 env.)         4    Egg whites
    1/2 c  Sugar                             1/2 c  Sugar
    1/4 ts Salt                                1 c  Heavy cream, whipped
      4    Egg yolks                           1    9-in baked pastry shell
    1/2 c  Lime juice                               Pistachio nuts, chopped
    1/4 c  Water                                    Lime slices for garnish
      1 ts Grated lime peel                         Heavy cream, whipped, to top
           Few drops green food color

  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. Source: Better Homes & Gardens Dessert
