Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Lemon Juice and Whipped Topping: Stir in the fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
  3. Layer with Graham Cracker Crumbs: In serving dishes, start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, followed by a layer of the lemon cream cheese filling. Repeat layers if desired, finishing with a topping of crumbs.

Notes

  • You can add a little lemon zest to intensify the lemon flavor.
  • Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-sugar options for a lighter dessert.
  • For a crust, consider mixing the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter for added richness and structure.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
