Add cold evaporated milk to Dream Whip (do not add vanilla). Sprinkle
in 24 pkg. Equal. Mix and beat according to directions. Beat egg
yolks slightly, and gradually stir in lemon juice. Gradually fold in
the whipped Dream Whip. Spread in pie crust. Turn on broiler so it
will get hot. Beat 3 egg whites frothy (use clean beaters so whites
will beat up as fluffy as possible). Add 1 tbs. sugar and beat until
blended in. Add another tbs. sugar and 3 Equal pkg. and beat until
soft peaks form. Spread meringue over top. Spread meringue to stick
to the edges so it wont shrink when you broil it.

Put under broiler for 30-60 seconds until meringue is lightly
browned. IT DOESNT TAKE LONG AT ALL AND IS EASY TO BURN. The flavors
will blend better if you chill for 5 hours.

NOTE: Nutritive values for these cookies are based on the use of
the 2 1/2 round cutter and weight of a little over 1 ounce per
cookie. You may use other cutters as long as the finished cookie
weighs about 1 ounce per cookie, and you might even make a 2-ounce
cookie and figure the nutritive value and exchanges as twice those
for the smaller cookie. You may add flavorings other than vanilla and
lemon; if add nuts, raisins and the like, however, you are altering
the nutritve values and exchanges for each cookie.

Spiced Apple Pudding
-  Yield: 4 servings

2 c Unsweetened apple juice; 1/3 c Granulated sugar substitute;
1/3 c Cornstarch; 1/2 ts Cinnamon;
1 Egg; (or 2 yolks)

MY NOTE: This recipe is marked in the allergy category only because
it is a pudding without milk, also low in protein. It is one of my
favorite ways to use up egg yolks or prepare a dessert when Ive run
out of milk. Probably does not require as much sweetening as stated
in the recipe - start with 2 Tbsp. sweetener and add more if
necessary. Cost to make the whole recipe is around $1.22.

In a heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apple juice and cornstarch; mix
well. Add remaining juice. Place over medium heat and cook,
stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for
2 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a bowl, beat egg with a fork. Add 1/2 cup of hot mixture to
beaten egg. Stir until smooth. Return immediately to hot mixture,
stirring constantly. (The hot mixture will cook the egg.)

Stir in sweetener and cinnamon. Pour into 4 dessert dishes, cover
with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Cool to room
temperature or chill in refrigerator.

If you prefer to use real sugar, mix 2 TBSP with the apple juice in
the saucepan. Divide the cooked pudding into 6 small dishes so that
there is approx. 1 tsp sugar per serving if you are allowed this much
on your meal plan. 94 calories, 21 grams carbohydrate estimated.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Crescents
-  Yield: 24 servings

2 c Sifted all purpose flour 1 ts Vanilla extract
1/3 c Unsweetened cocoa 3/4 c Granulated sugar
1/4 ts Salt 1 Egg
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter

Sift together the flour, cocoa, and salt and set aside. In the large
bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter. Beat in the vanilla and
sugar. Add the egg and beat until thoroughly mixed. On low speed
gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, scraping the bowl with a
rubber spatula and beating until the mixture holds together. Transfer
the dough to a small bowl for ease in handling and set aside at room
temperature. Prepare the filling.

3/4 cup smooth (not chunky) peanut butter 1/2 cup strained or sifted
confectioners sugar.

In a small bowl thoroughly mix the peanut butter and the sugar.

Adjust rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.

To shape the cookies: On a large piece of wax paper place the cookie
dough in mounds, using a slightly rounded tsp. (no more) of the dough
for each mound-in order not to make them too large its best to
measure with a measuring spoon. Do maybe a quarter of the dough at a
time.

Then do the same with the filling, using a level 1/2 measuring
teaspoon for each mound. Place on other pieces of waxed paper.

Pick up one mound of the dough, roll it between your hands into a
ball, and flatten it between your palms until it is very thin. Then,
with a small metal spatula or a table knife, lift up and place one
mound of the filling in the center of the flattened dough. With your
fingers bring the dough around the filling and pinch the edges to
seal. Roll the filled dough between your hands into a cylindrical
shape about 2 inches long with very slightly tapered ends. Place the
cookie on an unbuttered cookie sheet and as you do, turn the ends
down slightly to form a short fat crescent. Continue shaping the
cookies and placing them 1/2 to 1 inch apart-these do not spread.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch.
Reverse the cookie sheet front to back once to insure even bakinZ of
sugar and roll the cookies in the sugar as they come out of oven.

Real sugar - add 48 calories + 12.4 grams carbohydrate per extra Tb.
Cornstarch - add 29 calories + 7 grams carbohydrate per extra Tb. Egg
~ subtract 1 med-fat meat exchange if not used. Adjust for the number
of servings.

Note: original recipe is for a sauce, try 2 tbsp cornstarch and
divide among 3 dishes for a pudding/pie filling with one crumbled
graham cracker and a shake of cinnamon in the bottom of each dish.

EGGLESS: 1 or 2 extra tsp. cornstarch (5 tsp or 2 tb.) would likely
thicken the sauce without the egg. 1 tsp. cornstarch plus 3 tb.
liquid is given as an equivalent to 1 whole egg in the book called
Substituting Ingredients.

Lemon Sauce may be served with cake, gingerbread, and crisp meringues
with strawberries or other fruit (Pavlova is the common name in
Australian cookbooks).
