NO SUGAR ADDED - FAT FREE - NO CRUST LEMON MERINGUE TART
In my quest for a healthy and diabetic-friendly dessert and given that I love Lemon Meringue Pie, I came up with this recipe that I modified from several recipes I found on the web using Splenda sugar substitute and Egg-Beaters to cut out the sugar and fat.. This doesn't take the place of a homemade Lemon Meringue Pie by any means, but it is a great guilt-free dessert when you're dieting or diabetic!

Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice provides a brighter, more intense flavor than bottled juice. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can substitute bottled juice, but be sure to use 100% pure lemon juice, not a lemon-flavored drink.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them: Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the pie. Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them, as the zest is located in the outermost layer of the peel.
- Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling can make it tough. Stir the filling just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set: The pie is done baking when the filling is set. The filling should be firm to the touch but still have a slight jiggle to it.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: The pie needs to cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to set. Chilling the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will give it the best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This fat-free lemon pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lemons is balanced by the creamy filling and flaky crust. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
