How to Make Lemon Cheesecake Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place refrigerated pie crusts on baking sheets.
  2. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire racks.
  4. While crusts cool, prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar together at low speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
  5. Beat in the egg until thoroughly combined.
  6. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pie crusts.
  7. Prepare the Lemon Chess Pie Filling (Recipe Below).
  8. Carefully pour the lemon filling over the cream cheese layer in each pie crust.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, loosely cover them with aluminum foil.
  11. Let pies cool completely on wire racks before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
