3 tbsp.

3 tbsp.

1 1/2 cups
sugar
1 large egg
yolk
3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp.
all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp.
powdered sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cups
fat-free egg substitute
1/3 cups
fresh lime
juice, from Key limes
Preheat
oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. To make the
crust, beat margarine, cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar with an electric mixer
until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and gradually add 3/4 cup of flour.
Spread into baking dish using your hands (coat hands with 1
tablespoon of powdered sugar to prevent batter from sticking - or I stick my
hand inside a
plastic sandwich bag). Bake until crust is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
To make the
filling, beat egg and egg substitute in the same
bowl used to
make crust.
Add remaining 1
cup of
sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour; beat on low speed until blended. Add lime
juice; beat on low speed until blended. Pour onto warm crust and
bake 15
minutes more. Cool on a rack. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
