Everyone loved it, especially the crispy crust! It is much easier than making pie crust. Just beat the first 3 ingredients together on the mixer, roll out or pat into a tart pan with removable bottom, spread waxed paper and pie weights inside. Bake at170C (325F) 18-22minutes, removing paper and weights for the last 5 minutes, In a lrg bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and corn starch until blended, pour into crust and bake for 18-22 minutes, till set. Cool on wire rack. It calls for a 11″ pan, but mine is only 9.5 so I cut the amts slightly. Here is the original recipe.

3/4 cup butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 cups flour

Filling:

1Tbsp lemon zest

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup lemon juice

3lrg eggs

3 egg yolks

4oz cream cheese

1 Tbsp corn starch

Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
