Creamy Lemon Pie

As you may recall from previous posts on the matter, I love pie. Unfortunately it's not really the most healthy thing to eat. I did splurge and make the family this delicious treat over the weekend. I like how it's sweet and tangy and low in fat!

Creamy Lemon Pie

1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust

11 oz fat free sweetened condensed milk

2 eggs

1/2 cup lemon juice (I used bottled)

1 tablespoon lemon zest (I didn't have...so I didn't use)

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix milk, eggs, juice and zest together. Pour into pie crust. Bake 15 minutes. Cool completely and enjoy.

Perfect Party Cake

This week's TWD recipe was the Perfect Party Cake. And quite frankly it IS the perfect party cake! I decided to make mine into cupcakes which was so easy!

The cake is a basic white cake with lemon zest and lemon extract - so the lemon flavor is quite subtle. Raspberry jam is used as the filling and then a lemony buttercream is used to top it off. The recipe for Perfect Party Cake can be found at Dinner and Dessert. It's rather long, so I'm not going to type it all out. Don't be afraid when you look at the recipe, it really comes together quite easily.

I'm having some technical difficulties with downloading a photo for this. So I'll do that later this week... Enjoy! Updated- Here's a photo of the cupcake. Pardon the poor photo - it tasted way better than it looks!
