"I have taken this pie to many parties and functions. Unless asked, I don't let anyone know it's sugar free and they love it anyway. I got this from a cookbook of diabetic recipes which I lent to a co-worker and she never gave it back before she moved. I found the recipe again on the Equal website. (Whoops, forgot to put the word BAKED after the pie crust. It would be a little gross if the crust was raw. lol)!"

  2. This was easier to make than I thought it would be. I used 1/2 the called for<br/>sugar substitute. I used Splenda. It is very very good

  3. Granted I haven't eaten any of it yet, this was really easy to make and I'm really proud of it. I wish I'd been more careful about sealing the meringue to the pie crust, but I know for next time :)

  4. Nice flavor, simple to make. For those who don't understand what you're supposed to do with the 2 leftover yolks, you place them in a small bowl, covered, in fridge and use along with 2 whole eggs to make scrambled eggs the next morning for breakfast. If you want to keep them for a few days, add 1 T. (Tablespoon) water in bowl along with the yolks and they'll be fine. The water helps to keep the yolks "moist" as the yolks have been used and are not present. Peace.

  5. This was poorly written. Filling called for eggs..but didn't say what to do with yolks. Just used the whites. And numbers didn't add up. I now have runny pies. So disappointed.
