1 (18.25 oz.) box lemon cake mix, prepared according to directions
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 envelope unflavored gelatin

Beat cream cheese, sugar and peel until fluffy. Slowly beat in gelatin mixture. Beat 1 minute to blend. Spread over cake. Refrigerate 1 hour to set; cover loosely and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. To serve: lift from pan and cut into bars.
