This diabetic friendly recipe was given to us by diabetic cooking guru Marilyn Helton, as part of her Diabetic Friendly Vegetarian Thanksiving menu. Marilyn adapted this cholesterol-free, heart-healthy tart recipe from The New Soy Cookbook, by Lorna Sass. This dessert looks especially pretty and is easier to serve when baked in a tart pan with a removable bottom.
