Friday Treat!
Still going with the no oven treats; we remain insufferably hot in the Florida heartland.
Frozen Lime Pie
1/2 cup Key Lime or Persian Lime juice
1 15-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
5 egg whites
2 tb. sugar
1 tb. grated lemon rind
few drops green food color (optional)
1 9-inch graham cracker pie shell
Combine lime juice and milk, stirring until think and smooth. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff. Add food color. Fold in lime-milk mixture. Sprinkle lemon rind on bottom of pie shell; turn filing into shell. Chill until set. Freeze and keep until time to serve, or serve without freezing. For topping, swirl on sweetened cream.
Whipped Cream Frosting
(or cool whip)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 tb. sifted confectionery sugar
Whip heavy cream until stiff. Fold in vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Spread on cooled desert.
