How to Make Lime Chiffon Pie

In a large bowl, bloom 1 package (3 oz) of lime gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir vigorously for at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of ice to 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir until the ice is completely melted.
Add the melted ice water to the dissolved gelatin. Stir until fully combined. Then, stir in 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice and the zest of 1 lime.
Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped cream or Cool Whip.
Use a wire whisk to blend everything until smooth and well combined.
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly and mounds slightly when spooned.
Pour the thickened filling into your prepared pie crust.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
