Lemon Dessert

Easy cold lemon dessert (aka lemon lush) made with a crumbly crust and topped with creamy layers of whipped topping and lemon pudding. I love the fresh lemon flavor so much that I decided to make it again to share with you.

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup pecans + extra for top
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 16 oz cool whip
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 4 small (3.4 oz) boxes of lemon instant pudding
• 5 cups milk

INSTRUCTIONS

FIRST LAYER

Preheat oven to 350° F.

 Cut butter into the flour.  Mix well and add pecans.  Pat into the bottom of a 9×13 pan and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Let cool completely.

SECOND LAYER

Whip together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar.  Fold in half of the cool whip (about 8 oz.).  Spread over crust.

THIRD LAYER

Combine lemon pudding and milk.  Beat until thick.  Spread over cream cheese layer.

FOURTH LAYER

Spoon and swirl the remaining cool whip on top.  Sprinkle with pecans.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
