Place cookies and lemonade mix in food processor. Pulse until finely ground. Transfer to bowl. Mix in melted butter, tossing until evenly mixed and crumbly. Spread evenly across bottom and sides of 9-inch pie pan. Bake 5 minutes in 350°F oven. Cool before filling.

In a large saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in orange juice. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened. Cook and stir 2 minutes longer. In small bowl, whisk a small amount into beaten egg yolks. Return all to pan. Bring mixture back to a gentle boil and cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat. Gently stir in lemon juice, butter and lemon and orange peel. Spoon over cream cheese layer and refrigerate until cool. Pipe or spread remaining cream cheese mixture over top. Garnish as desired.
