KIWI Pie

Ingredients:

3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
1 envelope of plain gelatin (I don't know how many grams, but the packet
says it's enough gelatin to gel two cups of liquid)
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 and 1/2 cups of kiwi fruit  (peeled and cut into quarters)





Notes:

This recipe uses a double boiler, but maybe you could do something
make-shift using 2 different pieces of cookware. If you don't have one
(a suggestion is to use a stainless steel mixing bowl inside a pot. Your
mixture would be nearer the heat source than compared to a double-boiler.
But, if you stir constantly and consider the level of the heat source, with lots
of attention while on the heat source, it will work fine).

This is for a round 9-inch pie.  Put the finished, prepared pie filling
 into a baked pastry shell or substitute the crust with the frozen pie sheets?



Directions:

First put the gelatin into the cold water, in the top of a double boiler, put aside to soften in a separate,
regular saucepan, put in the kiwi and mash it up - boil it in its own natural juice

Mix the egg yolks, salt, and the 1/2 cup of sugar into the gelatin/water mixture
Cook this gelatin/egg/salt/sugar mixture - stirring constantly - until it begins to thicken slightly
Add the mashed/boiled kiwi into the gelatin mixture
Add the lemon rind and juice
Chill for about 45 minutes

In a separate bowl: 

(1) beat the egg whites until foamy;
(2) add the 2 tsbp sugar;
(3) beat until stiff peaks form

In another separate bowl:
(1) whip the whipping cream fold it into the stiff egg whites
(2) fold that mixture into the chilled kiwi mixture
(3) add the pie filling into the baked pie pastry and cool

Chill until firm

Garnish with kiwi slices, and whip cream if desired

Another Variation:

Now, Try the above recipe and enjoy it using apples instead of kiwi!
