- Preheat oven to 350°F
- To prepare the crumb crust, combine crumbs, granulated sugar and butter. Press evenly on bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 8 minutes or until edge is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F To prepare the filling, combine egg yolks, milk, lime rind and juice, and whisk until blended.
- Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff. (The tips flop over when the beater is lifted.) Do not overbeat. Stir about a third of the whites into milk mixture. Fold in remaining whites. Turn into crust and bake 15 minutes. Chill 4 hours or until cold.
