SIMPLE "LIGHT" LEMON PIE



Simple

Lemon Meringue pie is one of my Mom's favorites, but being a diabetic it's not the best for her. Found this lite version in "Taste of Home" magazine and anxious to try it for her. States the diabetic exchange is 1 starch, 1 fat and 1/2 fruit. I can't vouch for that as I don't know how it's figured, but am going to try this just for her. Prep time does not include chilling time. ETA: Corrected size of pudding and jello.

  • Choose the right sweetener: Since this recipe is intended for diabetics, it's crucial to use a sugar substitute that won't raise blood sugar levels. Some popular options include stevia, erythritol, xylitol, and monk fruit.
  • Use a combination of sweeteners: To achieve the best flavor and texture, consider using a blend of different sweeteners. For example, you could combine stevia and erythritol, or xylitol and monk fruit.
  • Don't overcook the lemon curd: The lemon curd should be cooked until it's thick and bubbly, but be careful not to overcook it, as this can cause it to curdle.
