No Sugar Added Lemon Chiffon Pie

I'm not really sure what makes a dessert a "chiffon."  Like a chiffon cake or chiffon pie.  Isn't it just a regular cake or pie? Until I figure that out, I'll continue making and eating chiffon anything, since it tastes great. I dug up another recipe from my Splenda recipe book, and made a lovely lemon chiffon pie. This was so light, and eaten in seconds. The recipe serves 8, and is about 150 calories per serving.
