    This is just..Perfect! Made because its June finally in Wyoming and I had an extra pie crust I didnt want to toss out.Only change I made was a baked pie shell instead of the graham cracker as directed.. So decided to look around for a lemon I hadnt had just yet. I can say this is going to be a keeper. giggling I can have a piece when kids are at school.. Once they get a look at it.. Its a goner.. Wish I could give it more stars definately deserves more then FIVE. TY for a great recipe.

    I was just going to post this recipe since I tried it for the first time a couple days ago — and I checked to see if it was already there and found your posting. So instead of posting a new recipe, I'll just add to the reviews of yours. I made it in a tart pan — and I knew I would need more crust and fillings. So I did 1 1/2 times the crumb recipe and it was perfect. Then I doubled the other two (cream cheese filling and lemon filling). It was just right. I also topped it with a little whipped cream and grated lemon rind on each individual serving. It is just soooo refreshing. Since my husband is a diabetic, I also used Splenda in place of the sugars and it came out just great. Thanks for doing the work for me — and posting the recipe!!!

    The textures and flavours of the light lemoney custard combined with the dense richness of the cheese cake in this recipe was a wonderful treat for the tastebuds. I served it incircled with fresh raspberry sauce and garnished with raspberries. Delicious.
