Directions
-
Pour the well-chilled evaporated milk into a large mixing bowl.
-
Whip the evaporated milk with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the water, lemon juice, and unflavored gelatin.
-
Microwave the gelatin mixture on high for 1 minute, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir well to ensure no clumps remain.
-
Add the sugar and optional yellow food coloring to the whipped evaporated milk.
-
With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the whipped milk.
-
Beat on medium speed until the mixture is thoroughly blended and smooth.
-
Pour the lemon filling into the ready-made graham cracker pie crust.
-
Cover the pie loosely with an inverted plastic dome or plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Refrigerate the pie until fully set, which will take at least 1 hour.
-
Before serving, garnish with sliced kiwi fruit if desired.

Note
Ensure the evaporated milk is very cold before whipping; this helps it hold its volume and create a lighter texture.
For a stronger lemon flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling along with the juice.
This pie must be kept refrigerated. It is best served cold.
If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup, but be mindful as lemon juice provides a natural tang that balances the sweetness.
Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
