Wow! Great recipe! My husband actually loved it and he doesn't care about calories. I didn't make the crust since I have to eat gluten free and I omited the lemon zest since I didn't have any and it still came out tasting great. Such a simple tasty recipe. I will make in custard cups next time since it is difficult to scoop out without a crust. I will definitely be making this again!

While not quite as smooth in texture as it's full-fat cousin, this easy pie is certainly a treat for a dieter. The lemon was puckeringly powerful so perhaps the amount of zest could be reduced to mellow out the flavor somewhat. I prefer to just eat the filling without the crust so plan to make this again in individual baking dishes. Thanks for posting the recipe!
