To kaye lafitte: I don't think its suppposed to be a diabetic recipe, just one for dieters who are looking for lower fat recipes (notice the category above the recipe).

If this is a diabetic recipe, why is there 2 cups of sugar in this? I'm looking for diabetic recipes for my mom.

I made this for our care group..went over well, I was pleased it didnt call for anything costly, since I will be making it again to serve 60, and the most expensive is the cherry pie filling!... no cream cheese, and I will leave out the pecans, due to allergies.I would highly recommend this; the crust can be made a day or 3 ahead of time, and oh, I used regular whip cream, rather than the frozen whipped topping! And, I will cut the pieces smaller!

I assume this recipe should be refrigerated since the topping is a frozen whipped topping, but I wondered about the crust. Am I correct in assuming you refrigerate the Cherry Meringue Dessert when finished?

Made this for our pot luck dinner - had so many requests for the recipe, had to make a list of them! I didn't even get a piece of it! Was pleased with how it turned out and will make it for our block party in a few weeks!...hoping I get a taste of it this time around! A real keeper!
