No-bake desserts are a summertime staple, and lemon cream cheese pie is one of the easiest with only five ingredients.

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 can (15-3/4 ounces) lemon pie filling, divided

1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)

Instructions

1 Make the cream cheese filling

2 In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in half the lemon pie filling, then fold in all the thawed whipped topping.

3 Fill the pie and chill

4 Spread the cream cheese mixture into a graham cracker pie crust. Then, spread the remaining lemon pie filling into an even layer over the top. Chill the pie for 15 minutes or longer before slicing and serving. Editor's Tip: For the most stable, easy-to-slice filling, give the pie lots of time to chill—overnight if possible.
