Equiv ) -- stiffly beaten

*A Note from Suzy: As we do not use RAW/UNcooked eggs
here in the northeastern United States due to
salmonella bacteria I have substituted a product
called "Just Whites", it works just as well if not
better than egg whites.

CRUST: Combine coconut, flour and melted margarine.
Press on bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at
350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes until lightly
browned. Remove from oven and set aside.

FILLING: Soften gelatin in 1/4 c. cold water. Set
aside. In a saucepan combine egg yolks, 3.4 c. water
3.4 c. sugar. Stir over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add softened gelatin and stir
until dissolved.

Beat cream cheese at low speed while gradually adding
gelatin/ egg mixture until well blended. Stir in lime
juice, grated lime, few drop green coloring. Fold in
whipped cream and stiffly beaten egg whites.

Pour filling over cooled crust and chill until firm.

Remove from springform and garnish with grated lime
rind. In summer decorate serving plate with fresh mint
leaves if desired.
