No Sugar Added - Fat Free - No Crust Lemon Meringue Tart image

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!

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of sweet desserts. The filling was creamy and flavorful though, and I liked the texture contrast between the two layers.
