Lemon Meringue Pah!

I have to say, I was a little over excited when I found a Lemon Meringue Pie recipe, adapted for slimming world that actually contained 0 Syns! Lemon Meringue Pie that is absolutely FREE ... There is some justice in the world. So, last night I had some Quark left over in the fridge ... it's a skimmed milk cream cheese that I have been buying because slimming world rave about it a lot but I usually end up throwing it away (Don't tell the Love Food Hate Waste campaign on me, please)! Anyway, I had this left over Quark that was about to expire and decided to make the Syn Free Lemon Meringue Pie. And here it is :




That looks pretty edible, huh? It looks meringue-y anyway. I left it to cool a little bit and then the temptation got too great and I thought I would have a sneaky spoonful. Bluuuuurgh!!! I can not tell you how revolting this was. So revolting that I couldn't even swallow the first spoonful. It was kind of like lemony-egg with foam on the top and covered in a rubbery skin. It was unholy. If you come across this recipe anywhere please do not bother. I have bothered for you and was almost sick in the kitchen bin. I scraped the remaining lemony-egg concoction away before Hubby got back ... He is already sceptical about my attempts at low fat baking thanks to the strange muffins I tried out earlier in the diet. He is pretty convinced that you can't make low fat baking work. I hope he isn't right, although my experiences so far suggest otherwise!
