Recipe: Arizona's Supreme Citrus Pie

Don't have the recipe you are seeking, however, Desserts by Rita makes a "Lemon Lust Pie," described as A pecan crusted shell, filled with a layer of sweetened cream cheese, lemon filling, then topped with whipped cream.

Crisco has a recipe for Arizona's Supreme Citrus Pie that sounds "over the top" and may be the type of filling you are looking for. The pie has a whipped cream top. Instead of the usual pie crust I would make a Pecan Crust.

ARIZONA'S SUPREME CITRUS PIE

9-inch Double Pie Crust
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (6 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 package (4-serving size) lemon flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix (not sugar-free)

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

FOR CRUST:
Prepare and bake pie crust in 9- or 9-1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate. Cool completely.

FOR FLUFFY FILLING:
Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in large bowl. Beat at low speed of electric mixer until smooth. Add lemonade concentrate. Blend well. Beat in pudding mix until smooth.
