Easy Lemon Pie

9 inch pie pan
1 small Cook N Serve Sugar Free vanilla pudding
1 small Sugar Free Lemon Jell-O
3/4 cups of water
3/4 cups half & half
6 oz cream cheese
*1/2 tsp lemon extract (optional)

In a saucepan: mix pudding, jello, and water, half & half well. Bring to boil. Remove from heat, add cream cheese and whisk together while it melts. Pour into pie pan and refrigerate until set.

You can made a crust for this with ground almonds (you could use pecans), 4 packets of splenda, and butter; pressed into the bottom of the pie pan and prebake @ 350 until browned a bit; 6-8 minutes.

Yum! I was just looking for a reasonable dessert for my Thanksgiving menu. Thank you!

Sorry, I'm going to sound ignorant here, but what is "half and half"? I've never heard that term before.

Also, what is a 'small' package of jello? We have 4-serve packages that we usually mix with 500ml of water. Would that be the equivalent of a small package?

This sounds delicious and I LOVE lemon flavoured ANYTHING, so would like to give this a try.

Thanks for any and all answers.

Zelma

Zelma, half and half is sold here in the states in the dairy section near the milk. Its 1/2 cream and 1/2 milk mixed together. Its a lighter version of cream and is usually used in coffee.

Yes, the smaller packages of jello is the 4 serving package. They make a bigger one but I'm not sure of the serving size.

Has anyone figured in carbs in Easy Lemon Pie?

How many carbs in a cup of half and half?

THANKS!

Thank you for taking time to answer questions and offer encouragement. You're great not to forget those of us mired in the tubby after you've lost so much weight. I'm having trouble making myself count each carb.

I think I just want to do what I want to do without having to account to anyone, including myself. But look where that attitude got me...from a size 8 to a 22...not good. I have to find a way to count BEFORE I eat. I'm eating only the induction foods, but I'm not counting every carb - so I'm sure I've been over the 20 carb limit - and I don't measure food. My grandmother said of me before I was 20, "Two people in this world who will get what they want are Juicey and Dinah." I'm the Juicey. I have to turn the determination to have it my way into a determination to work this program honestly and correctly. I can see the "my way" at work in relationships, my job, financial decisions - you name it. Many times, the attitude and determination have helped me be very successful; at other times, it's led to disaster. I have to think about this - I've never thought about it this way before.

No more easy lemon pie for me; I made it before you reminded us that we aren't to use the pudding mixes and other prepared stuff in induction.

How did you record your carbs so you could keep track of them every day? I'm thinking I will need to be on induction for several months; I have so much to lose, and I'm not good at moderation or gradual changes. What do you think?
