Ingredients

1 TB unflavored gelatin (by measure, don't rely on the packets being a full Tablespoon)*

1/4 c cold water

1 c boiling water

2/3 c sugar

1/4 c lime juice

1 tsp lime peel

2 egg whites, stiffly beaten

Custard Sauce

2 egg yolks

1/4 c sugar

1 TB flour

1/8 tsp salt

1 c milk

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp butter

Directions

Soak gelatin in 1/4c. Cold water for 5 minutes; add 1c. Boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add sugar, lime juice and rind. Mix well and refrigerate until syrupy. Beat until frothy; fold in egg whites and return to refrigerator for 10 minutes. This next step is extremely important!!! Set bowl in a larger bowl containing ice water and beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Chill. Prepare custard sauce.

Custard Sauce

Beat yolks; add sugar, flour and salt. Stir in milk. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook until sauce begins to thicken, stirring constantly. Add lemon juice, vanilla and butter; beat 1 minute with a wire whisk. Cover and chill.

The prep time I posted is a guess-ta-mate as I never timed it.
