CRUST:
Lightly spray a springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press crumb mixture into bottom of pan.

FILLING:
Zest lemons to measure 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon zest. Juice lemons to measure 1/4 cup lemon juice.
Combine pudding mix, 1/2 cup Splenda, 1/4 cup milk or water and egg whites in small saucepan. Stir until well blended. Stir in remaining 1 3/4 cups milk or water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil, then remove from heat. Set aside 1/2 cup of the pudding mixture to cool slightly.
Whisk butter and lemon juice into remaining pudding in the saucepan; cool for 15 minutes, stirring twice.
In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup Splenda; mix well. Whisk in reserved 1/2 cup lemon pudding and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping and spread evenly over crust.
Stir and spoon remaining lemon pudding mixture evenly over cream cheese filling, spreading gently. Refrigerate at least 6 hours. Before serving, run a small knife around the sides of the dessert and release collar from pan. Garnish with remaining fat-free whipped topping and lemon zest. Cut into wedges and enjoy.
