1 9"
graham or regular pie crust
2 large
egg whites, room temperature
1/4 tsp.
cream of tartar
1/4 cup
sugar
1 cup
water
3 tbsp.

3 drops
yellow food coloring (or add 2 egg yolks)
8
grams Equal or Splenda sweetener (8 packets)
Grated rind of 1 lemon (optional)
Directions
Beat egg
whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar; continue beating on high
speed, gradually adding sugar until stiff meringue forms. In saucepan,
combine water, lemon juice and cornstarch; stir until smooth. Add lemon
rind, margarine and coloring to mixture (if you are using egg yolks
instead of coloring, stir a little of the hot mixture into yolks then
return to heat). Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and
starchy taste is gone. Remove from heat; add sweetener. Fold mixture
into meringue and mix lightly. Pour into crust and refrigerate until
firm. 1 slice = 1 bread, 1 fat and 1 carb
