   1/2 c sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites.
   Fold in whipped cream. Pile into cooled baked pastry shell. Chill till
   firm. Spread with more whipped cream; edge with grated lime peel. Sprinkle
   chopped pistachio nuts in center. Garnish with thinly sliced lime placed
   in whipped cream mounds around edge of pie.
