    15 oz pkg. Pillsbury All Ready Pie Crusts

    1 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    2 tablespoons flour
    1 cup water
    2 egg yolks, beaten
    1 tablespoon margarine or butter
    1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    6 oz. (1 cup) vanilla milk chips or chopped white baking bar
    1 (8-oz.) pkg. light cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup whipping cream

    Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare pie crust according to package
    directions for unfilled one-crust pie using 9-inch pie pan.
    (Refrigerate remaining crust for a later use.) Bake at 450 for 9
    to 11 minutes or until lightly browned; cool completely.

    In medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and flour; mix well.
    Gradually stir in water until smooth. Cook over medium heat until
    mixture boils, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cook 2 minutes,
    stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir about 1/4 cup of hot
    mixture into egg yolks; blend well. Add egg yolk mixture to mixture
    in saucepan. Cook over low heat until mixture boils, stirring
    constantly. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from
    heat; stir in margarine, lemon peel and lemon juice. Transfer 1/3
    up of hot filling to small saucepan; cool remaining lemon mixture
    15 minutes. Add vanilla milk chips to hot filling in small saucepan;
    stir over low heat just until chips are melted.

    In small bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add melted vanilla
    milk chip mixture; beat until well blended. Spread over bottom of
    cooled crust. Spoon lemon mixture over cream cheese layer.
    Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or until set.

    In small bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Pipe
    or spoon over pie. Store in refrigerator. 8 to 10 servings.
