Maire Callendars Lemon Cream Cheese Pie Great for summer

Marie Callender’s
Lemon Cream Cheese Pie

Ingredients:
Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cream Cheese Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Lemon Filling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
dash salt
1 cup water
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prepare the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar in a small bowl. Press the crust mixture into an 8-inch pie pan.
  3. Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla and an egg in a bowl, using an electric mixer. Mix well until smooth. Pour cream cheese filling into graham cracker crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until center is cooked. A knife stuck in the middle of the filling should come out mostly clean.
  4. As the pie cools, make the lemon filling by combining 1/2 cup sugar with cornstarch, salt and water in a small saucepan. Set mixture over low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring often.
  5. Whisk in egg yolks, then add lemon juice and butter. When mixture simmers again remove it immediately from the heat.
  6. Pour the lemon filling over the cream cheese filling, and let the pie cool. When cool, chill pie in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Slice into 6 pieces to serve restaurant-size portions

What’s your point, and what’s your problem JoneZ??? You didn’t have a problem when you were looking for something and Chefphronc gave you assistance…remember your March 29th post… “Need Recipe: Morton’s Steakhouse Chocolate Gdiva Cake” … in fact the recipe came from recipegoldmine.com. It matters not that Chefphronc quoted the source…what matters is someone gave you their respect and attention. Are you the internet recipe police? Did our contributor violate some trademark law or copyright law? Get a grip…this is a site where we all post recipes for the benefit of one another…You’ve obviosuly got too much time on your hands when you critique someones effort, that is intended for the benefit of all… Get a life or get off this forum. We don’t need idiotic posts from half wits. Oh yes… has anyone criticised you in your "5"posts??? Live and let live nit-wit.
