Instructions
Single Pie Crust:
Using a food processor or stand mixer, mix together flour, salt and shortening. Slowly add water depending on the consistency.
Mix until ingredients are thoroughly blended, and dough pieces are pea sized.
On a lightly floured surface, use your hand and a rolling pin to roll it flat.
Place the single crust inside a pie pan. Poke holes in the crust and bake at 375F degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Cream Cheese Filling:
Using a stand mixer, blend together softened cream cheese and confectioner’s sugar until it has somewhat of a whipped consistency.
Add heavy whipping cream whipped topping and blend together until well mixed.
Add lemon juice for flavoring and mix well. Pour into baked pie crust and smooth to spread. Reserve 1 cup cream cheese filling for piped topping
Lemon Filling:
In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt.
Stir in water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and add remaining sugar.
Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat.
Stir in butter, lemon peel and food coloring if desired. Gently stir in lemon juice (do not overmix). Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Spread on top of the cream cheese layer.
Piped Cream Topping:
Use a piping bag with star tip to pipe the remaining cream topping as a decorative addition to the top of the pie.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the pie is set. Slice, serve and enjoy.
