Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and pinch of salt. Stir in water, lemon juice, lemon extract/rind, and yellow food coloring (if using) bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in butter. Cool to room temperature for about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and the powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream/whipped topping and the optional 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (if using). Remove 1/2 cup of the whipped cream/cream cheese mixture for the garnish. Spread the remaining whipped cream/cream cheese mixture into the baked pastry shell. Top with the cooled lemon filling. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, scoop the reserved 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe stars onto the pie, or garnish with the reserved cream cheese mixture or as desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
