Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 6.8 oz instant lemon pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter (softened), and chopped pecans. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Step 4
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely before proceeding.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Fold in half of the whipped topping (8 oz).
Step 6
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Step 7
In another bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture is thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Spread the lemon pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 9
Spread the remaining whipped topping (8 oz) over the lemon pudding layer for the final topping.
Step 10
Refrigerate the Lemon Lush for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow all the layers to set properly.
Step 11
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
