In response to lkollock, I think that graham crackers will get soggy but if you grind them and make a graham cracker crust(Recipe can be found online) out of them then it would work great if you like cinnamon with lemon. The flavor of cinnamon with lemon would just be a matter of preference.

I haven't made it yet but it sounds so good! I was wondering if I could make it in a 13x9? I was thinking I would line with cinnamon graham crackers and double the filling ingredients. Any thoughts?

Yummy and easy to whip up. Used Neufchatel cheese and light whipped topping with no problem. I think I may try with lemon pudding next time.

In answer to the reviewer that asked about the food coloring - make your own lemon curd. That should work and WAY yummy. I gave not tried this andxwas disappointed on reading thru ingredient list that it’s pre-pkg stuff but I think this is good footprint if you want to do from scratch??

I make these every Christmas one lemon, one chocolate, and one pistachio with a ready made graham cracker crust, cream cheese and confection sugar and cool whip followed by large box of pudding make cookies and cream for the kids. Cool whip with chocolate chips or shaved chocolate, coconut on top or anything you prefer. Just a bit different but just as good

This had a nice light lemon taste and was so easy to make. I believe this would also be good with a shortbread crust as noted by another reviewer for those of you who do not like graham cracker crust.
