-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Crust:
1 cup processed walnuts (run through the food processor until it's a powdery
paste)
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tb splenda
Filling:
3/4 cup splenda
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup orange juice
3 Tbs butter
1 tsp lemon extract.
Meringue:
1/2 cup splenda
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Crust:
whip egg white to a foam, add in other ingredients and blend well. Form into pie
crust shape. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes or so with another pie pan on it...add
weight on top of that. (I use a heavy coffee mug)
Remove from oven and let cool.
Filling:
put sweetener and gum into big pot...mix the powders together. Add all other
ingredients, turn stove on to medium. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches
a boil. Stir 1 more minute or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, pour
into cooled crust.
Meringue:
Whip egg whites, vanilla and tarter to soft peaks on medium high speed, then add
in splenda in a thin steady stream until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over
hot filling, forming a seal to the pie crust to prevent shrinkage. Bake for 5-10
minutes until meringue browns slightly. Cool completely on rack, refrigerate
until ready to serve.

The whole recipe has about 60 Gms carbs with 10 of them being fiber. Pie serves
8. Not a bad deal for carb counters! Of course, you can experiment with shaving
the total carb grams by dropping the OJ, cutting the sweetener down or
well...any other variation you can think of.
