For a nuttier flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping and adding to the crust. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling. If you prefer a less tangy lemon flavor, reduce the amount of lemon juice slightly. For a more intense lemon flavor, add lemon zest to the lemon layer. The lemon layer needs to cool slightly before putting over the cream cheese layer. Otherwise the cream cheese filling will melt.

Apr 19, 2025I found the lemon layer a bit too tart for my taste, so I added a bit more sugar. It turned out perfect!
