LEMON-LIME PIE

Personally, I do not like Sweet 'N Low, however I know some of you do. This was an old favorite of singer Rudy Vallee and was made before we had the better tasting, in my opinion, artificial sweeteners. I use Splenda granular. If you are not diabetic you can use an equivalent amount of sugar rather than sweet 'n low and regular gelatin in the filling.

MERINGUE CRUST:
2 egg whites, beaten until stiff
2 tbsp powdered milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2 packets sweet 'n low

Add the powdered milk to the beaten egg whites; beat. Add the vanilla,salt, and sweet 'n low, mix well. Press mixture into pie plate and bake at 300 degrees 20 minutes or until done.

FILLING:
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 pkg (4-serving size) lemon flavored gelatin (sugar-free)
1 pkg (4-serving size) lime flavored gelatin (sugar-free)
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup cold water

Chill bowl and beaters. Chill evaporated milk. Combine gelatins with the boiling water and salt. Stir until gelatin is fully dissolved. Chill until thickened but not set.

Whip chilled evaporated milk until stiff peaks form and hold. Carefully fold in the gelatin mixture. Spoon mixture into the meringue shell crust. Chill 3 to 4 hours before serving.
