Just
made the most incredible gluten/wheat free Lemon pie WITHOUT using that
yucky sweetened condensed milk which is full of sugar and who knows
what all else! I used Stevia instead of regular sugar! So easy and this pie
actually taste like key lime! Going to try some other desserts using this same recipe like Lemon bars with my gluten/wheat free crust recipe...
Pie Filling Directions:
Instead of using that very sweet sugar filled condensed milk I made this filling –
2 Cups Carnation Instant Non-Fat Dry Milk (they had a different brand at HEB and it worked fine). Find it over in the section with all the flour mixes on the left side down on bottom near the evaporated milk.
1 cup filtered water
6 TBS of softened Organic (I use grass fed) No-Salt butter
2 cup Stevia
Mix these ingredients very well in a blender about 5 minutes. The blender is key! This pie filling turns out very nice and creamy!
Then add to a mixing bowl and combine with 2 / 3 cup of lemon juice, 1 TBS of lemon rind, 1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt and mix well with a mixer. Pour into a baked pie crust and level.
Chill for about 3 hours in frig. Top with some homemade whipped cream.
1/2 carton heavy whipping cream, 1 TB Stevia, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla, 1 Teaspoon Kahlua (optional). Whip up in kitchen aid mixer or hand blender! Top the pie and put back in the frig until ready to eat!
Pie Crust: (This is a store bought gluten free crust from Whole Foods pre-baked according to directions) or you can use a graham cracker crust which is very easy to make. They have gluten/wheat free graham crackers at HEB and Whole Foods. Put in food processer with some melted butter and mash into your pie tin.
Easy peazy!
This Lemon pie was amazingly good! It was a bit tart so
for those who love lemon tart that's good, for those that want a little more
sweet add in a little more powered Stevia.
Have an idea to make blueberry lemon bars with homemade gluten/wheat
free crust! This is the product I bought
at HEB. You use it cup for cup. I recommend using fresh squeezed lemons.
The label states: Each serving
contains less than 2 calories which the FDA considers Dietetic ally zero.
Suitable for people with diabetes.
*Maltodextrin is gluten free. It can be made
from a variety of starches, including corn, potato, rice or wheat. However the
source does not matter because maltodextrin is such a highly processed
ingredient that the protein is removed, rendering it gluten free.
Enjoy the Journey!
