  • 1/3 cup hard margarine
  • 1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (the small size container of cool whip)

    Graham Crust: Melt margarine and add graham crumbs and first amount of sugar.

    Stir until well mixed.
  3. 3
    Firmly press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool.

    To save time I buy the ready made graham cracker pie shells. Then, the rest of the pie takes about 5 minutes to make and even less time to eat!
  9. 9
    Note, I have made the recipe with cool whip lite and lite cream cheese to reduce fat and calories. There is no real loss of taste, and I can have a bigger piece of pie!
