"This make-ahead recipe was given to me by an aunt many years ago," writes Joyce Key. "Her recipe called for lemon gelatin, but we like this dessert with more of a bite to it, so we use lime instead. The light fluffy squares are especially great in summer," assures the Snellville, Georgia cook.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh limes. Bottled lime juice can be used, but it will not have the same flavor as fresh limes.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Do not overmix the egg whites. Overmixing will cause them to become tough.
  • To test if the egg whites are stiff enough, hold the bowl upside down. If the egg whites do not move, they are ready.
  • When folding the egg whites into the lime mixture, do so gently. Overmixing will cause the mixture to deflate.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the lime mixture before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • Chill the pie for at least four hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

This lime chiffon dessert is a light and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and tangy lime flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit. Whether you are serving it to friends and family or enjoying it yourself, this dessert is sure to please.
