As my life goes, this happened by accident. I didn't have any gelatin so I decided to work with Jello. I kept my fingers crossed and got a few great opinions on how to go about it and dove in. I will make this again. It is too good not to share. Prep time does not include chill time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
2/3 cup water |
4 egg yolks |
3 ounces margarita jell-o gelatin, 1 box |
1/2 cup lime juice |
1 tablespoon lime zest |
4 egg whites |
1/3 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine 1/2 cup sugar,water,yolks,jello,and lime juice in the top of a double boiler. Cook ingredients OVER boiling water until thick.
2. Add grated lime peel.
3. Chill mixture in refrigerator until it forms little mounds when dropped with a spoon.
4. Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry.
5. Fold in 1/3 cupt sugar.
6. Continue to fold mixture lightly in turn into the lime/margarita mixture. Fill pie crust. Chill until set which may be several hours.
