From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking
Lemon curd is probably my favorite thing to spread on toast, but its velvety richness screams eggs and butter. So this week I bring you a lighter version that still uses eggs, but dispenses with butter. Also this week, enjoy some desserts that have some kind of relationship with fruit!

Low Fat Lemon Curd
Traditionally, lemon curd is a lusciously thick and rich spread. And no wonder: it's full of eggs and butter. So with fewer eggs and no butter, here's a quick and easy light lemon curd that makes a great filling for mini phyllo tart shells, or a deliciously sweet yet tart spread for whole-grain toast.

Little Lemon Bars
These moist, tangy lemon bars are a wonderful low fat treat. Take some along to your next family picnic or gathering. You might want to make two batches, as they will disappear fast.

Peach Tarts
These delightfully flaky tarts are a delicious summer treat. Enjoy them on their own, or with a little frozen low-fat yogurt of fat-free whipped topping.

Quick and Easy Lemon Pudding Pie
Low fat lemon pudding pie is quick and easy to prepare. You don't need to bake anything, just refrigerate the pie until you're ready to eat it--if you can wait that long. I like to top my pie with mandarin oranges and kiwi. Lemon zest in the mix sharpens the pie's lemon flavor.
