A light & fluffy sweet/tart lemon pie that has half the sugar of regular pies, because Crystal Light lemonade mix contains aspartame sweetener (like Equal). Covered with plastic wrap, this keeps well for several days in the refrigerator. Baking time includes chilling time.

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



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.
