Cómo preparar Americana Key Lime Pie
- Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the bloomed gelatin.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Do not boil for more than 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated lime zest.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired, to achieve a pale green tint.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This helps create a smooth texture.
- Chill, stirring occasionally, until the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon (about 2-3 hours).
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the chilled gelatin mixture into the meringue in three additions.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Pour the filling into the cooled baked pie crust.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top of the pie.
- Garnish the edge with grated lime zest.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios in the center.
- Garnish with thinly sliced limes arranged around the edge of the pie.
