Separate the whites from the two eggs. I usually do this by carefully swirling the yolk around in my hand and letting the egg white seep between my fingers.

Now combine your four main ingredients (pie filling, egg whites, sugar and lime juice) in your mixing bowl and beat with the whisk attachment for about ten minutes to get the egg whites whipped up a bit.
