Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until well incorporated.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.

Step 7

Gently spread the lemon curd over the top of the cream cheese layer, creating a smooth and even layer.
