How to make key lime pie:

Thoroughly mix gelatin, 1/2 cup sugar and salt in saucepan. Beat together egg yolks, lime juice and water. Stir into gelatin mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat just until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in grated peel. Add food coloring, sparingly until pale green. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites. Fold in whipped cream. Pile into cooled shell. Chill until firm. Spread with more whipped cream; edge with grated lime peel. Center with grated pistachio nuts. Trim with lime wedges.
