Ingredients for Low Calorie Lemon Chiffon Pie

How to Make Low Calorie Lemon Chiffon Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice until smooth. Set aside.
- In the same saucepan, combine the remaining 3/4 cup pineapple juice and 1/4 cup honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. Reduce heat to low.
- Add 1/2 cup lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon. Stir until well combined.
- Continue to cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the filling is smooth and thickened.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Once completely cool, gently fold in 4 ounces of the Cool Whip until just combined.
- Pour the lemon filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Top with the remaining 4 ounces of Cool Whip.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
