DESCRIPTION

A classic dessert takes an easy turn with Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust.

INGREDIENTS

1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (from 15-oz box), softened as directed on box
1 package unflavored gelatin
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup water
4 pasteurized eggs, separated
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
2 drops green food color
1 cup whipping (heavy) cream
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell using 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, combine gelatin, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the lime juice, water and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens slightly. Remove from heat; stir in lime peel and food color. Pour mixture into large bowl. Refrigerate until mixture mounds slightly, about 45 minutes.

3. In large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. In small bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

4. Gently stir egg whites and whipped cream into cooled lime mixture. Spoon into cooled baked shell. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Serve topped with sweetened whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.

Mix the juices together until well blended. Next take the juice and pour them into either the dixie cups or the ice cube tray. Cover them with aluminum foil so that you can stick your popsicle sticks or tooth picks in them. Now freeze them over night or until they are completely frozen.

Both fun to make and fun to eat everyone enjoys a popsicle now and then. Have fun with your creations and remember sometime its good to let your minds roam free and try new things.
