2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O gelatin
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, chilled
Steps:
Mix crust ingredients, press into 13x9 pan.
In small bowl stir together sugar and cream cheese until fluffy.
In another small bowl, mix jello and boiling water; add lemon juice and extract.

You can take a coffee break here.
