FANTASTIC FROZEN LIME PIE DESSERT
A co-worker shared his mother's recipe. The sky is the limit because all the employees made this recipe using different flavored concentrates. I also made this recipe, using orange concentrate and grated orange zest on top, it was also fantastic. Although, you will need to freeze this overnight, it is the fastest dessert you will ever make. It makes two pies and you will be glad you have two because the first one will be gone in no time.

FROSTY LIME PIE
This frozen dessert delivers cold, tart relief on a hot summer day. Pearl Byrd Foster served this pie on her menu at Mr. and Mrs. Foster's Place, her 15-table restaurant on the Upper East Side. Ms. Foster opened the restaurant after a 30-year career in hotel, department store and food magazine kitchens. Raymond Sokolov, a former food editor of The New York Times, wrote about this recipe in 1971. The real secret to making this pie, he said, is in how you handle the egg yolks. Heat them too much and they scramble, or too little and they won't thicken. When the yolks get too hot for your finger, around 165 degrees, they're hot enough.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the crust: Place the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and work with a wooden spoon (or your fingers) to blend well. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate with your fingertips, or use an 8-inch pie plate to press down the mixture. Transfer to oven and bake 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Make the filling: Beat the yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer until very thick. Gradually beat in half the sugar until mixture is very pale and thick and forms a rope when dropped from the beater.
- Stir in the lime juice and zest and transfer to a double boiler. Heat over over simmering water, stirring until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not allow to boil. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Once the yolk mixture reaches room temperature, beat the egg whites with the salt in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar until mixture is stiff and shiny. Stir a third of this meringue mixture into the cooled yolk mixture. Fold in remaining meringue mixture until evenly distributed.
- Turn the mixture out into the cooled graham cracker pie shell and bake 15 minutes, or until lightly tinged with brown. Let cool.
- Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and let chill thoroughly, uncovered, then transfer to the freezer. Freeze at least 8 hours or overnight. Once it is frozen, cover with plastic wrap and keep frozen until just before serving.
- Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Cover with the whipped cream and garnish with lime slices dipped in sugar or fresh strawberries.

Tips:
- Make sure the limes are ripe; you can tell by their vibrant green color and soft texture.
- Key lime juice is recommended for its distinct flavor, but regular lime juice can be substituted if needed.
- If using store-bought whipped cream, ensure it's fresh and chilled before folding it into the mousse.
- For a smoother mousse, use an immersion blender or food processor to blend the lime mixture until completely smooth.
- Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before filling it to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- For a more decadent pie, use a combination of heavy cream and whipped cream in the mousse.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a springform pan or even a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Don't overbeat the mousse; it should be light and fluffy, not stiff.
- Garnish the pie with lime slices, whipped cream, or lime zest for a finishing touch.
- Serve the pie chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This frozen lime mousse pie combines the perfect blend of tangy lime flavor and creamy mousse filling. Its vibrant green color and refreshing taste make it a delightful dessert for any occasion. Whether you're a fan of tangy citrus desserts or simply seeking a delicious and easy-to-make frozen pie, this recipe is sure to impress.
