INGREDIENTS:

  • 16 oz sugar-free lemon pie filling
  • 3.4 oz sugar-free instant lemon pudding mix
  • 12 oz reduced-fat graham crackers
  • 8 oz softened fat-free cream cheese
  • 2½ cups skim milk
  • 8 oz fat-free whipped topping
  • 14 oz fat-free sweetened condensed milk

INGREDIENT NOTES:

FAT-FREE CREAM CHEESE:

  • It gives a smooth base to the filling and keeps the dessert light. Fat-free cream cheese includes a tangy taste that pairs well with lemon. Use light cream cheese as a substitute.

SUGAR-FREE INSTANT LEMON PUDDING MIX:

  • Pudding mix includes lemon taste and makes the filling thick. We are using sugar-free pudding to reduce sugar in the recipe. You may use sugar-free vanilla pudding mix with lemon zest & lemon extract as an alternative.

FAT-FREE SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK:

  • It gives a sweet taste and richness to the dessert. Condensed milk keeps the filling smooth and creamy. You may use homemade light condensed milk as another idea.

SKIM MILK:

  • Milk activates the pudding mix and keeps the recipe low in calories. Fat-free milk is good to use if skim milk is not available.

FAT-FREE WHIPPED TOPPING:

  • It makes the filling fluffy and airy. Whipped topping makes a mousse-like texture without including extra calories. You may use light whipped topping as a substitute.

REDUCED-FAT GRAHAM CRACKERS:

  • Graham crackers make the signature eclair cake layers. They get soft during chilling and provide a cake-like texture. You may use light vanilla wafers, whole-grain graham crackers, or reduced-fat digestive biscuits as another choice.

SUGAR-FREE LEMON PIE FILLING:

  • It includes a bright citrus topping and a beautiful lemon taste. Lemon pie filling keeps the recipe light. Homemade light lemon sauce is a great choice as well.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, beat softened fat-free cream cheese in the large bowl to make a smooth mixture.
  2. Include fat-free sweetened condensed milk and mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk sugar-free lemon pudding mix with skim milk to make a thick mixture.
  4. Then gently fold the pudding mixture, cream cheese mixture, and fat-free whipped topping till it gets fluffy.
  5. Now arrange one layer of reduced-fat graham crackers at the last of the dish.
  6. Spread half the lemon cream mixture on the crackers and put another layer of graham crackers.
  7. Include the remaining lemon cream mixture and a final layer of graham crackers.
  8. Add the sugar-free lemon pie filling on top and cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
