Love at first bite. What a fantastic light summer dessert. Made as a light chiffon in a glass. This is so light and fluffy, it is like eating a lemon cloud. Add to my favorites book.

I made this today. I reduced the Splenda by 1/4 cup. I also, added more lemon zest. I made it into a pie using a graham cracker crumb base that I made myself. It was excellent. A very light, finish to our evening meal. Thanks for sharing. this fits in well with the Low Carbing that I am doing.

Yum. This is delicious, tart with just the right amount of sweetness. It would be excellent using sugar if you're not diabetic or dieting. I used the optional lemon extract but not the graham cracker crust to keep the calories down. The ingredients in this recipe, except for the crust, all fall within Weight Watchers Core category. Thanks for posting.
