INGREDIENTS:

One 8-9" pie crust brushed with egg whites, baked and cooled.

FOR MERINGUE:
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
6 packets Equal® (NutraSweet® as sweet as 2 teaspoons sugar each)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

FOR PUDDING:
2 3/4 cups 1% milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 large pkg. (6 serving size) vanilla sugar-free instant pudding

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
3 Tbsp whipping cream
1/2 packet Equal® (NutraSweet® as sweet as 1 teaspoon sugar)
1/4 tsp vanilla

MERINGUE:
Beat egg whites until frothy. Then beat in cream of tartar until peaks form and curl over. Without over beating, blend in each packet of Equal® separately. Finally, beat in vanilla. Set meringue aside, and immediately prepare the pudding in a separate bowl.

PUDDING:
Stir vanilla into milk. Then beat in pudding mix. Gently and thoroughly fold the meringue into the pudding. Pour this pie filling into the pie shell, and refrigerate until set. Allow two hours.

TOPPING (optional):
This dessert is plenty rich tasting as is; nevertheless, you may wish to make a little whipping cream. If so, for best results, wait until just before serving the pie to prepare the topping. Beat the whipping cream until it begins to hold its form. Then add Equal® packet and vanilla, and beat until stiff. Top each slice with a small dollop for decoration.
