Instructions

  1. In small bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon peel and juice.
  2. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Spread over baked pie crust.
  4. Chill at least 1 hour.
  5. Several hours before serving, arrange fruit on filling.
  6. I like to use the strawberries nearest the rim of the pie shell, then a ring of overlapping kiwi slices, then a ring of mandarin oranges followed with a "bull's-eye" of the crushed pineapple in the center.
  7. Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
  8. You may substitute whatever your favorite fruit or berries are for the topping.
