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!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and almonds together into crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until combined. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Try to smash/break up any large chunks. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. With medium pressure using your hand, pat the crumbs down into the bottom and up the sides to make a compact crust. Do not pack down with heavy force because that makes the crust too hard. Simply pat down until the mixture is no longer crumby/crumbly. Tips: You can use a small flat-bottomed measuring cup to help press down the bottom crust and smooth out the surface, but do not pack down too hard. And run a spoon around the bottom "corner" where the edge and bottom meet to help make a rounded crust-this helps prevent the crust from falling apart. For more shaping technique tips, see the graham cracker crust recipe page.
- Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
- Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and egg yolks together. Pour into warm crust.
- Bake the pie for 19-21 minutes or until only *slightly* jiggly in the center. You want it mostly set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cover and chill for at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days) before serving.
- Garnish as desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Choose the right lemons. Use unwaxed lemons for the best flavor. Meyer lemons are a good option because they are sweeter and less acidic than other lemons.
- Zest the lemons finely. This will help to release the oils and give the pie a more intense lemon flavor.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lemon juice will give the pie a brighter flavor.
- Don't overcook the pie filling. The filling should be thick and bubbly, but not browned. Overcooking will make the filling tough.
- Chill the pie completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
