Lemon Chiffon Pie
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
4 eggs, separated
1 can (6 ounces) frozen concetrated lemonade (less 2 Tbsp. used in pastry)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 9-inch baked lemon pie shell
Sprinkle gelatin on water in top of double boiler to soften. Add salt and egg yolks; mix well. Place over boiling water and cook stirring constantly until mixture thickens slightly and gelatin dissolves about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add frozen concentrated lemonade. Chill until the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add sugar and beat until very stiff. Fold in gelatin mixture, then whipped cream. Turn into baked lemon pastry shell. Chill in refrigerator until firm. To serve, garnish pie with additional whipped cream and top with coconut.
