Cooling the filling in a saucepan set in ice water keeps prep time to half an hour.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine, softened
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (6-ounce) reduced-fat graham cracker crust
1 1/2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a saucepan; gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir about 1/4 of hot milk mixture into beaten egg; add to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter, lemon rind, and lemon juice.
