How to Make Lemon Chiffon Pie Iii

  1. In a large bowl, bloom 1 package (1 ounce) of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir vigorously for at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in the zest and juice of 2 large lemons (about 1/2 cup juice).
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup cold water and 1 cup ice to create 1 1/4 cups of very cold water.
  4. Add the ice water mixture to the gelatin mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture slightly thickens.
  5. Remove any remaining ice cubes.
  6. Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping using a wire whisk until completely smooth and incorporated.
  7. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture is very thick and mounds slightly when spooned.
  8. Pour the lemon filling into your prepared graham cracker crust.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pie is completely set and firm.
