  • 2 1/2 cups Golden Grahams™ cereal
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 oz (about 1 2/3 cups) Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed

Flag Design

  • 17 fresh raspberries (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Using food processor, finely crush cereal.

  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in granulated sugar. Add sour cream, vanilla, lemon peel and lemon juice; beat until well mixed. Fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate until ready to fill pie.
  • 5
    Spread filling evenly into fully cooled crust. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours to set.
  • 6
    For flag design, arrange blueberries in upper left area of pie to create stars; alternately arrange raspberries and strawberry slices in rows over pie to create stripes. Serve immediately. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Folding whipped topping into the filling keeps it light and fluffy. A rubber spatula works best for folding.
  • tip 2
    Use an offset spatula to smooth top of cheesecake filling, if desired.
