How to Make Fluffy Lime Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and pale yellow. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Gradually add ¾ cup of granulated sugar to the egg yolks, beating constantly until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add the zest of 2 limes and ½ cup of fresh lime juice to the yolk mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  5. In a separate clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lime mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. Pour the mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack (about 1-1.5 hours).
  10. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to fully set and the flavors to meld.
  11. Before serving, top with whipped cream (optional) and enjoy your light and fluffy lime pie!
