Directions
Kittencal’s Lemon Cream Cheese Pie, A pie so good it is worthy of selling in a bakery! prep time includes the refrigeration time — see my recipe#66929, It came out great Everyone that tried it loved the taste and tecture This recipe is worth the effort It’s a keeper, I have made this recipe 3 times now and it is definitely a winner It is easy to make, tastes great and presents beautifully for company Everyone, kids right up to grandparents, loves this pie and it has disappeared quickly every time use a graham cracker crust and find that it goes very well with the filling The first time I made this pie used the full amount of the lemon topping, but I found that it was overpoweringly tangy for the cream cheese filling, so subsequent times I have used about 1/2 – 2/3 of the filling and saved the remainder for other things Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!
