- Bake for 10 minutes, or until light brown; cool completely.
- For the topping: Pour the boiling water on the gelatin in a large bowl, stir until all the gelatin is dissolved.
- Stir in the lime peel and the lime juice; refrigerate for 1 hour, or until VERY thick but NOT set (watch closely, make sure that the gelatin does not set, as it will not whip correctly).
- Remove from fridge, and beat the gelatin mixture with an electric mixer on high speed for 4 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally, until thick and fluffy; set aside.
- Beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar in a CHILLED large bowl on high speed until stiff.
