Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Baking Dish

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching it to cover the entire surface.

Step 3: Make the Lemon-Cream Cheese Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice and ¾ of the lemon zest.

2. Add the softened cream cheese and ½ cup of sugar to the lemon mixture.

3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
