Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Mix crushed cookies and melted butter; press onto bottom and sides of a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack., Finely grate 2 teaspoons zest from lemons. Cut all lemons in half; squeeze juice. For lemon syrup, in a small saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until sugar is dissolved, 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove to a bowl; cool completely., For cream filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon zest and remaining 2/3 cup sugar until smooth. Gradually add cream and 1/2 cup lemon syrup, beating until thickened. Transfer 1 cup mixture to crust; layer with half of the ladyfingers. If desired, stir orange liqueur into remaining lemon syrup; brush over ladyfingers. Repeat layers. Spread remaining cream filling over top., For meringue, in a large bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Spread over pie., Bake in a 350° oven until meringue is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Refrigerate until filling is set, about 4 hours.

[email protected]This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. The meringue was perfect, though. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the curd if you don't like tart desserts.
