1/2 c sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites.

Fold in whipped cream. Pile into cooled baked pastry shell. Chill till

firm. Spread with more whipped cream; edge with grated lime peel. Sprinkle

chopped pistachio nuts in center. Garnish with thinly sliced lime placed

in whipped cream mounds around edge of pie.
