Instructions: |
Pastry:
Preheat oven to 325?F. Mix together coconut and butter. Press onto bottom and sides of a lightly greased 9 inch pie pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until butter bubbles. Set on a wire rack to cool.
Filling:
In a medium-size saucepan, combine stevia*, gelatin, and egg yolks. Stir in lime juice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour into a medium size bowl. Refrigerate until thickened but not set. Beat cream until peaks form. Fold into lime gelatin mixture. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate until set.
*sugar substitutions: 1/2 tsp stevia extract = 1/2 cup splenda = 1/2 cup sugar = 1/2 cup honey
**I use bottled lime juice, fresh lime juice may also be used
idea: Use the leftover egg whites in coconut macaroons, chocolate coconut macaroons, or chocolate kisses.
idea: I made the coconut macaroons when I baked the pie in the picture and used the browned coconut flakes remaining on the bake sheet from the coconut macaroons to decorate the pie. |
