Bake for 10 minutes Remove the parchment with pie weights carefully and set aside. Continue cooking the crust an additional 2 - 3 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

LIGHT LEMON CREAM CHEESE PIE

Nobody will ever guess that this is virtually fat free. It's creamy, lemony and very tasty and can be put together quickly. Will need several hours for chilling before serving. (You can use regular ingredients if you are one of the lucky ones that don't have to worry about calories and fat). I got the recipe off of a bottle of Nellie & Joe's key West Lemon Juice.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using it, so that it blends smoothly.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess pastry around the edges.
  • To make the lemon filling, whisk the sugar and cornstarch together before adding the lemon juice and water. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
  • If you want a more intense lemon flavor, you can add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the filling.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream for a special treat.
