Dreamy Creamy Lemon Pie

A better title would be Dreamy Creamy Grapefruit-Orange-Lime-Lemon Pie because all of those citrus varieties work!  I do have to admit I didn't try to juice kumquats to see if the recipe worked with them.  I wonder how many it would take to obtain a half a cup of juice?  If you know, please post!

Citrus fruits are rich in Vitamin C (as we all know) and folic acid, as well as being a good source of fiber. They have many more nutrients.  Read more about lemon nutritional facts. 

Fat content is lower than other lemon pie recipes by using low fat graham crackers, no butter in the crust, and egg whites with only one full egg instead of 2 full eggs.  As with many recipes, you can change it to make it your own by using a different citrus fruit, adding butter to the crust or additional egg yolk to make it a little more custard like. 

Watch the video, print the recipe, prepare any one of the dishes and you'll find yourself saying "That's Vegetarian?!"
