"Found this on the internet. I like to use pecan cookies and 1/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar, in place of graham cracker crust; cream filling as is and 1 1/2 times lemon filling, but I love lemon. If you put the crust in a square or rectangle pan you can cut in bars the size you like. I make it with gluten free cookie crumbs."

I followed the instructions for thickening on the corn starch recipe before adding the egg yolks. Also added maybe one- two more tablespoons of lemon juice.

10 stars. The sweetness of the cream cheese balances the tartness of the lemon. Very easy to make.

One of the best lemon pies ever! I used meyer lemons as they are sweeter. DH does not like too much lemon and he found this recipe just perfect! Topped it off with a dollop of whipped cream. Will be seeing repeats for sure! UPDATE 8/1/21: this recipe has become a favvy here during the summer. Made today again and loving it! Thank you Judy for sharing.
