Everyone will know spring is here when you serve these bright yellow squares. Cool and refreshing, this dessert cuts easily and keeps for several days in the fridge. Chilling time not included. Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
1 (3 ounce) package lemon gelatin |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
5 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 (3 ounce) package cook-and-serve lemon pudding mix |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 1/2 cups cold water |

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add dry gelatin and lemon extract; beat 3 minutes longer. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into crust.
