Separate eggs, and beat egg whites with salt until stiff.

Beat together Splenda for Baking and the egg yolks until thick. Add lemon juice. Next, with the mixer on a low-medium setting, beat in the cream cheese, a little at a time, until incorporated and fluffy.

Add a small amount of the egg whites, plus grated lemon peel if desired, and mix in gently. Next, gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the remaining egg whites. Pour mixture into pan. Give a little shake to make it level.
