8 oz container nonfat yogurt
6 whole graham crackers
1 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 lowfat vanilla yogurt (8 oz each)
1/2 cup egg beaters® 99% egg
1 substitute
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Place a coffee filter in a medium strainer. Spoon the plain yogurt
into the filter and set the strainer over a deep bowl. Cover,
refrigerate and allow to drain for 8 hours or overnight. Discard the
drained-off whey. Refrigerate yogurt until needed.
Crumble the graham crackers into the work bowl of a foodprocessor.
Process with on/off turns to make crumbs. Add the canola oil and
process to combine.
Coat a 10-inch pie plate with nostick spray. Press the crumbs into
the pan to make a crust. Chill.
In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup honey and the
cornstarch. Whisk in the vanilla yogurt and drained plain yogurt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens
and boils.
Remove from heat. Pour some of the hot mixture into the egg
substitute. Stir. Very slowly whisk that mixture back into the
remaining hot mixture. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring constantly,
for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice, lemon
extract and almond extract. Spoon into the prepared crust. In a
medium bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar at medium speed
until foamy. Add 1 tablespoon honey and the vanilla. Beat at high
speed until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie filling, avoiding gaps
where the meringue topping meets the crust.
Bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until meringue is golden.
Chill.

The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were some recipe books which date from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are now in academic collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Lemon Icebox Pie (Lowfat Version) recipe.
