1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup ground pecans

1 package (8 oz) reduced-fat cream cheese
1 package (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 carton (8 oz) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed
lemon layer:
1-1/4 cups sugar
6 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

In a small bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and cornstarch (mixture will be crumbly). Stir in pecans.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon juice, butter, lemon peel and food coloring if desired. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate for 1 hour.
Spread lemon mixture over cream cheese layer. Cover and freeze for 1 hour. Fold lemon peel into whipped topping; spread over lemon layer. Cover and freeze for up to 1 month. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. Yield: 20 servings.
