A lot easier to buy the lemon meringue pie filling. Mix with water and egg yolks (directions on packet. Fill your pastry case and top with meringue.
Lemon Icebox Pie

448 g cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 lemons, juiced
2 g lemon zest
In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon rind. Mix until smooth. Pour mixture into crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and mint leaves if desired.
Millsie, I've made a version of BBWCHATT's last recipe, and it's far easier to use a digestive biscuit (graham cracker) base than to fiddle about with pastry.
For a change you could use a ginger biscuit base as it partners lemon very well.
Millsie - if it isn't too much trouble - and if you have the time - could you please let us know if we gave you what you needed or if we need to keep looking?

Thanks for your help.
