For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling mixture. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and lump-free filling. If you don’t have blanched almonds, you can toast regular almonds in the oven for a few minutes to enhance their flavor. Chilling the pie overnight will allow the flavors to meld together even more beautifully.

StepTo Make Crust: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in dessert bar crust mix and almonds. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to brown and crumble. (Approx. 4 minutes)
02
StepReserve 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture for topping. Use the back of a fork to press the remaining crust mixture into an ungreased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Cool completely. (Approx. 15 minutes)
03
StepTo Make Filling: Pour cold water into a 2-quart non-aluminum saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over water and allow to soften for 5 minutes. (Approx. 5 minutes)

05
StepPlace egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup of the hot lemon mixture into the egg yolks. Whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the rest of the lemon filling. Return the mixture to heat. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. (Approx. 5 minutes)
06
StepCover and refrigerate. (Approx. 10 minutes)
