1

Wash a lemon and zest it to get 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.

2

Cut the lemons in half and juice them to obtain 1/2 cup of lemon juice.

3

Measure 1/4 cup of cold water and add 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin to it, letting it set for about 5 minutes.

4

Separate 4 jumbo eggs, placing the whites in a large bowl and the yolks in a small bowl.

5

Blend the egg yolks and add 1/2 cup of sugar, mixing well and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.

6

Add 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the yolk mixture and stir.

7

Pour the yolk mixture into a double boiler and cook until it thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

8

Once thickened, remove from heat and add the gelatin and lemon zest, mixing well. Let it cool in the refrigerator.

9

Whip the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar.

10

Fold the cooled yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, ensuring all whites are incorporated.

11

Pour the combined mixture into a baked pie shell and refrigerate for a couple of hours to chill.

12

After chilling, cut the pie and taste it.
