Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F).
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
- 2
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large, clean, dry bowl and the yolks in a separate medium bowl.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure no yolk gets into the whites, as this will prevent them from whipping up properly.
- 3
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Yaklaşık 4 dk.
Aşçının notu: Stiff peaks mean the whites will hold their shape and won't slide out if you tip the bowl.
- 4
Add the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice to the bowl with the egg yolks.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 5
Whisk the yolk mixture until it is smooth and fully combined. Stir in the green food coloring, if using.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 6
Add about one-third of the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold it in to lighten the base.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Use a spatula and a scooping motion from the bottom up to fold, which helps maintain volume.
- 7
Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined, being careful not to overmix and deflate the filling.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 8
Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and spread gently to even the top.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 9
Bake for 10 minutes. The center should be just set and no longer liquid.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: The pie will still have a slight wobble; it will firm up as it cools.
- 10
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
- 11
Once cool, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Aşçının notu: Chilling is crucial for the pie to set fully and for the best flavor and texture.
- 12
Optionally, just before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Serve slices of pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
