Instructions

  1. 1

    Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of the lilikoi juice in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar and the remaining lilikoi juice, then cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat, stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then chill the custard until it is cool but not yet set, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Beat the egg whites with the salt to soft peaks, gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and continue beating to stiff, glossy peaks.

  5. 5

    Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks in a separate bowl, then gently fold both the whites and the cream into the cooled lilikoi custard until no streaks remain.

  6. 6

    Mound the airy filling into the cooled graham crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate at least 4 hours until fully set before slicing.
