 1.      Sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons lemon juice in bowl and let sit until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. 

2.      Microwave until mixture is bubbling around edges and gelatin is dissolved, about 30 seconds. 

3.      In a food processor, process the condensed milk, yogurt, and cream cheese until smooth, about 1 minute.

4.      With processor running, add vanilla, lemon extract, gelatin mixture, lemon zest, and remaining lemon juice.  Process until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.

5.      Pour filling into pie shell, smooth top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
