Ingredients

16 oz.cream cheese

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 to 3/4 tsp lemon extract

2 packages of Pillsbury crescent roll dough

3 egg yolks

Directions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit

Mix the lemon extract, vanilla extract, 2 of your egg yolks, sugar, and cream cheese in a large bowl (on a high setting if you're using an electric mixer).

Lightly butter the inside of a 12 inch pie pan

Open and spread one package of crescent roll dough over the entire inner surface of the pan, making sure no holes are present.

Fill with the cream cheese mixture and leave about a quarter inch of dough showing around the top edge of the pan.

Cover the filling with the second package of dough and attach to the dough left around the edge of the pie pan.

Score the dough before placing into the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve cold or at room temperature

Thanks for the recipe. I think I'll make this tonight as I have all of the ingredients except for the dough. It sounds yummy! I do have a question for you. In the recipe, you only use 2 egg yolks. What do you do with the third egg yolk? Is it for the top of the dough or do you add it eventually to the cheese mixture?

I... Never realized I left that out. Yes, you coat the top of the dish with the third egg yolk. It makes it a pretty golden color, and gives a bit of extra flavor to the pie!
