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