1 1/4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons lime rind
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 envelope gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup lime juice

4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Combine crumbs, rind, sugar and butter. Press into bottom and
sides of 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees fahrenheit for 8
minutes. Cool
Thoroughly mix in saucepan gelatin, sugar and salt. Beat together
yolks, lime juice and water. Stir into gelatin mixture. Cook over
medium heat, stirring, just until mixture comes to a boil. Remove
from heat. Stir in grated lime peel and food coloring. Chill,
stirring occasionally until mixture mounds slightly when dropped
from spoon.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating
until stiff. Fold in gelatin mixture. Fold in heavy cream.
Pile into shell. Chill until firm. Before serving top with additional
whipped cream, and garnish with grated lime peel.
