Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter - Melted
8 Oz Cream Cheese - Softened
1/3 Cup Icing Sugar
1 Tsp Lemon Zest
1 Cup Cool Whip - Thawed
1 1/2 Cups Lemon Curd - Chilled
2 1/2 Cups Cool Whip - Thawed
Lemon Zest - Garnish
Graham Cracker Crumbs - Garnish
Lemon Slices - Garnish

Directions

Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch square pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese, icing sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip. Spread gently over the chilled crust, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the cream cheese layer.
Stir the cold lemon curd just until spreadable. Spoon it in small dollops across the cream cheese layer, then gently smooth them together with the back of a spoon.
Spread the remaining 2½ cups of Cool Whip over the lemon curd. Use the back of a spoon to make soft peaks, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Sprinkle with lemon zest and graham crumbs, if desired. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts. Add thin lemon slices just before serving.
