simmering water and cook, stirring often, until mixture is heated
through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Chill until 1 spoonful
holds its shape.
Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually beat in
superfine sugar and continue beating until very stiff. Fold gelatin
mixture into egg whites. Turn into pie shell, smoothing top. Cover
and chill until firm. Just before serving, garnish with whipped cream.
