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 is the worst lemon meringue tart I've ever had. The crustless design made it impossible to cut, and the meringue was grainy and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This tart was a disaster! The crustless design made it difficult to handle, and the meringue was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was skeptical about how a crustless lemon meringue tart would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. The tart was delicious and light, and the meringue was perfectly browned and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
