Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great tasting pie Made it just for a pudding. Used the truvia baking and it was a balanced sweet and tart pudding. Will make it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it!!! I practice making this for Christmas and I was not disappointed. This pie is for my grandmother and it is sweet without having a large amount of sugar. I am sure she will love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great alternative to the real thing This is the first time I have seen a low sugar recipe for this pie. I didn't have enough cornstarch for the filling so I made up half with custard powder, as the recipe calls for vanilla flavouring and salt later I missed these out. It turned out very well, I don't think it will keep very long as the meringue was becoming a bit wet when I cut into it but that's not a problem if you're making it for a crowd.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent pie I made this for my dad, who loves lemon meringue pie. He loved it. He couldn't tell that it was sugar free.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Lightly Lemon Flavored Water Pie I used the Truvia Baking Blend and adjusted the amount to approximate the sweetness of the called for amount of Truvia Natural. I also added 1/2 t. lemon extract. Other than that, I made no changes to this recipe. I'm sorry but I've had good lemon meringue pie and this didn't even come close to it. The ratio of water to lemon juice is way too high. The texture of the pudding is nice. If I make this again, I will increase the juice and decrease the water.
