Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Spread on top of the cooled crust.

Spread whipped topping over top. Cut into squares.

*If you want pretty slices, you must partially freeze the lemon lush. It will defrost fairly quickly.
**Some people have complained that the crust is very hard, but it will soften up after the dessert has been refrigerated.
