Recipe: Key Lime Pie (using Jello) (5)

Hello Rose,

There are quite a few versions of this recipe - I hope one of these is the one your mom has been searching for. Please note that some of the older recipes call for raw eggs so you might want to substitute pastuerized egg product and/or egg white powder in those.

1. Jello Pie

1 graham cracker crust
1 can evaporated milk
14 1/2 oz. can chill
1 pkg. lime Jello
1/2 c. hot water
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. sugar

Whip evaporated milk until stiff. Mix other ingredients all together. Add to whipped milk. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill in refrigerator for 4 hours.

Dissolve Jello as directed with 1 cup boiling water only. Add 1/2 cup lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon of grated lime peel. Add condensed milk and beaten egg yolk. Add little food coloring if desired. Put in refrigerator and chill until slightly thickened. While Jello mixture is chilling, whip 1 egg white until it forms peaks. Fold egg white into Jello mixture and pour into cooled baked pie shell.

5. Key Lime Pie

Beat egg yolks, lime juice and water together and stir into the gelatin mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture just comes to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in grated peel and add enough coloring for pale green color. Chill stirring occasionally, until thickened. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold the gelatin mixture into the egg whites, fold in whipped cream. Spoon into pastry shell. Chill until firm. Spread with additional whipped cream.
