"Recipe was found on the side of a box of Pillsbury Moist Supreme Lemon Cake Mix. I debated about posting, as there are similar recipes already in the Zaar database that use powdered sugar instead of the canned frosting in the cheesecake layer. I prepared these as a quick, last minute offering for Hubby to take to a local function, and didn't get to taste myself. However, he told me that my pan was one of the first things empty on the dessert table. I hope that means they were good. :)"

Hi Ms. B, I want to make this lemon cheesecake bar recipe but I can’t find any lemon frosting in any stores here. How much powdered sugar is in the original recipe? I will use that instead. Thank you! Nikita R.

These are OK. They taste a lot like lemon cake, just in a different form. I didn't get much of the cheesecake flavor. Very easy to make though, and a nice presentation.

Very good and easy. People who love lemon really go for this. I had some dehydrated lemon peel in my spice drawer, so I added some to the base layer. Yum!

Not great, but not bad. I took to a pot-luck and only four pieces were eaten. Maybe it was because I made it in the wrong season. I decided to make this because I had all the ingredients and it was very easy.

I made a pan of these to bring to a pot-luck dinner and they were a huge hit. I loved the lemon flavor in the base & in the topping. I have made the version that calls for powdered sugar instead of icing, but I think I prefer these as they don't seem to be quite as sweet as the powdered sugar version. Very simple to throw together and no one knows it starts from a cake mix - they all thought it was a "scratch" recipe. Thanks for posting this recipe, Ms Bold!

Hi. I love making this recipe! I have been making this for over 10 years. The challenging part is Pillsbury stopped making their famous Lemon icing which I love. Also, the original recipe uses pecans. This has been my family's favorite for years as well as party functions.

I make these but add just another layer of lemon pudding or glaze and it’s thicker and oh so yummy for lemon lovers
