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.

SIMPLE "LIGHT" LEMON PIE
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.

- 1. Mix Lemon Juice with Eagle Brand condensed milk, mix well. Fold in Cool Whip,
- 2. Prepare Graham cracker per directions, Pour Pie Mixture into cooled crust, Chill 2 hours before serving. May drizzle some sweetened Strawberries over top with a spoon, And, 2 curled thin Lime slices in center for color. Sprinkle a Table spoon of toasted slivered almonds across top. Or, leave plain. Delicious.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Don't overcook the filling. The filling should be thick and smooth, but not too thick. If you overcook it, it will become grainy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch.
