Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp sugar
1 stick plus 3 tablespoons butter
12 oz cream cheese
1 1/8 c powdered sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 c chopped walnuts
1 large container Cool Whip, 16 oz
12 oz Trader Joe's lemon curd (or brand of your choice)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 3 ingredients together and press in a 9" pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool crust on a wire rack.
  • 2. Blend together well the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Spread on completely cooled crust.
  • 3. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over cream cheese mixture.
  • 4. Spread the whipped topping over the walnuts. You will not need to use the whole container of topping.
  • 5. Place pie in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes until whipped topping is firm enough to spread the lemon curd on top of it.
  • 6. Decorate the edges and center with the Cool Whip. Add a few chopped walnuts if you desire. Then refrigerate.
  • 7. Note: This pie freezes well, that is if you have any left over to freeze!
