Categories     Fruit     Dessert

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 graham cracker crumb crust (Store bought or homemade)
Filling
6 cups watermelon (seeds are fine)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (aka, two envelopes) 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
Garnish
confectioners' sugar, to dust whipped cream

Steps:

  • Place a medium sized bowl and a set of beaters in the refrigerator to chill. Bake pie crust according to directions and let cool; Refrigerate until ready to use. Combine the watermelon and granulated sugar in a very large bowl; using a potato masher, mash until the mixture is quite liquid; set aside for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, drain the mixture through a strainer, reserving almost 2 ¾ cups of the watermelon juice and then discard pulp and seeds. Put ¼ cup of the juice in a medium size bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it; set aside for 3 to 4 minutes to dissolve. Heat ½ cup of the juice in a small saucepan over medium heat to a near boil; whisk the hot juice into the dissolved gelatin. Pour the remaining 2 cups watermelon juice into a large bowl an stir in the gelatin-watermelon juice mixture; stir in the lime juice; place in refrigerator. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a medium size bowl until stiff peaks form; set aside; clean and dry beaters. Using the chilled medium-size bowl and chilled beaters, beat the heavy cream with the mixer until it holds soft peaks; add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth and stiff but not grainy; refrigerate. When the watermelon juice mixture starts to firm up, add about one-quarter of the whipped cream and beat with the electric mixer until smooth. Add the beaten egg whites and remaining whipped cream and gently fold them in with a large rubber spatula; if necessary, use a whisk-very briefly- to smooth the mixture and break up any large globs of whites or whipped cream. Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell; shake to settle; cover with loosely tented aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. To serve, garnish each slice with a dusting of confections' sugar. Add a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
