Lemon Berry Tart

I have been hunting for a tart pan for what seems an eternity.....and I finally got one last Saturday. Then I had to decide whether to make an apple, peach or blueberry tart. Blueberry (obviously) won. These pictures are what I made, but I've tweaked the recipe even more to make it 'fit' the 11" tart pan. The way I made it....it's really good. And it'll probably be even better after I let it chill in the fridge like it's supposed to, but I was impatient and HAD to taste it! I will definitely make this again....it's just that good!

LEMON BERRY TART

Makes 12 Servings

1 Serving = 4 PointsPlus™

CRUST:

14 sheets of reduced fat graham crackers, smashed into crumbs
1/2 cup melted light butter
3 TBSP Splenda granulated

Preheat oven to 350º. Spray an 11” tart pan.

Mix all ingredients together. Press into the bottom and slightly up the side of the tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.

LEMON FILLING:

3 TBSP corn starch
3 TBSP all purpose flour
pinch of salt
3/4 cup Splenda granulated
3/4 cup fat-free egg substitute
zest of 1 large lemon
juice of 1 large lemon
1 cup water
1 1/2 TBSP butter

In a medium saucepan, combine corn starch, flour, salt & Splenda. Pour in the water and stir constantly over medium-low heat until it comes to a slow boil. Remove pan from heat and reduce to low. Pour 1/2 cup of this mixture into the egg substitute while whisking constantly. Pour this back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Return saucepan to the stove and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest and juice. Whisk in the butter in 2 pieces.

Allow filling to cool to warm before pouring into the baked crust and then cool completely.

BLUEBERRY TOPPING:

4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
3/4 cup Splenda granulated
1/4 cup water
2 rounded TBSP corn starch

Bring the berries and Splenda to a gentle boil.

Mix the corn starch with the water and add slowly to the boiling berry mixture, stirring constantly. Boil gently for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Cool and pour over lemon layer.

Chill for a couple of hours before serving.

MY SPIN: When I say to let it cool.....I mean let it cool! LOL

This is what happens when you don't let it chill for a couple hours.....it looks 'runny' but is still yummy!
