layered lemon dessert

This yummy lemon dessert is a new favorite of ours.  My  MIL made it for our Christmas gathering and we just couldn't get enough of it!! If you are a chocolate lover, you could totally switch the lemon pudding for chocolate pudding!

1 Stick of Butter, softened

1 Cup of Flour

½ Cup of Pecans, chopped

1 (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened

2 (8 oz.) Carton of Cool Whip

1 Cup of Powdered Sugar

2 Pkgs. Lemon Instant Pudding Mix

3 Cups of Milk

Combine butter, flour and pecans and press into a 9 X 13 baking dish to make crust. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350°. Cool completely before adding 1^st layer.

1^st Layer: Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar. Fold in one 8oz. carton of Cool Whip and spread on top of cooled crust.

2^nd Layer: Mix 2 pkgs. of instant lemon pudding mix with 3 cups of milk and spread over 1^st layer.

3^rd Layer: Top with an 8 oz. carton of Cool Whip and if desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Enjoy!!
