I picked this up in a magazine and tried it...amazing...
meringue part
4-room temperature eggs (use whites only)
1/2 cup sugar (splenda if low carbing)
1 tsp of vanilla
Beat whites until frothy and then slowly add sugar and vanilla. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form
Use a 9 inch pie plate lined with foil and spay w/ nonstickstuff.
Smooth meringue on the bottom and sides of pie plate. Bake at 225 for an hour and a half or until meringue is crispy but not overly brown.
Filling
3 eggs
1/2 sugar (splenda)
1/2 cup of lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest.
In med sauce pan at med. heat combine all and stir until thick. (there doesn't seem to be enough of this, but there is really)
This should be refriderated for at least 2 hours...
When the meringue is done let cool slightly and CAREFULLY peel from the foil.
when ready to serve fill with lemon stuff and garnish with strawberries or raspberries.
This is a wonderful crisp dessert, low in calories and fat. I imagine it could be done with lime too....
