Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

10 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
½ teaspoon lemon extract, or to taste
1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
½ cup prepared lemon curd
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the filling is set and no longer gooey inside, about 35 minutes.
Remove pie from oven, let stand until it cools to room temperature, and cool in refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 hours.
Spread the lemon curd evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling.
Spread the whipped topping over the lemon curd.
Sprinkle the top of the pie with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest. Refrigerate leftovers.
