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.

Tips:

Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your pie a brighter, more flavorful taste than bottled lemon juice.
Zest your lemons before juicing them. Lemon zest adds a lot of flavor to the pie, so be sure to zest your lemons before you juice them.
Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling can make it tough, so be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the pie until the filling is set. The pie is done baking when the filling is set and no longer jiggles when you shake the pie pan.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This simple lemon pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this simple lemon pie a try!
