Ingredients

• SHELL
• 4 egg whites
• 1/4 t cream of tartar
• 1 c sugar
• FILLING
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1/4 t salt
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 T grated lime rind
• 1 cup of heavy cream whipped.

Preparation

Step 1

Beat the whites until soft and frothy. Add cream of tarter. Gradually add sugar after soft peaks have begun forming. Before you put the meringue in the pie plate, heat up the pie plate in the oven and then dribble some oil and wipe it out. Bake for 20 minutes in 275 degree oven and 40 minutes at 300 degrees (be sure NOT to open the oven or it will fall) leave the oven door slightly ajar and turn off the oven to let it cool for 30 min.
Add all the remaining ingredients together (except the whipping cream), beat lightly and then cook over a double boiler until it thickens. Chill to thicken. Whip the cream until fairly stiff. The meringue will have sunken in the middle by this point. Spread half the cream over bottom then put a layer of the custard, then the remaining cream.
