LEMON CREAM CHEESE REFRIGERATOR DESSERT (NO-BAKE)
This is no-bake except for the crust. If you are using the packaged lemon pie filling mix add in a couple tablespoons of fresh lemon juice just to "kick it up a notch" and also a couple drops of yellow food colouring if desired.! If you prefer a sweeter filling then add in some sugar when beating the cream cheese mixture, just remember that the Cool Whip is already sweetened. To save time make the crust up to a day in advance. You can double this and make it in a 13 x 9-inch pan, and I strongly suggest doing so, this dessert is AMAZING!

Steps:
- Lightly grease bottom of a 11 x 7-inch or a 9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare you favorite lemon pie filling recipe; remove from stove-top and cool at room temperature until semi-cooled (the mixture should not be hot).
- In a bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar; lighty press into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes (just enough to set the crust).
- Cool the crust to almost room temperature (I just place it in the fridge for a speedy cooling).
- In a large bowl beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup powerdered sugar until very smooth and fluffy.
- Add in the lemon juice; beat until combined.
- Add in the thawed Cool Whip; using the low speed of the mixer or a spatula, mix until combined.
- Spread the mixture over the top of the cooled crumb crust.
- Top/spread with the semi-cooled lemon pie filling (if you find that the mixture is a little lumpy just lightly whisk until smooth).
- Top/spread with a thin layer of whipped cream or thawed Cool Whip topping or dollup onto top of a slice.
- Chill for 2 hours before serving.
