Description

Lemon Lush is a refreshing layered dessert with a buttery pecan crust, a smooth cream cheese layer, tangy lemon pudding, and whipped topping. It’s light, creamy, and perfect for spring and summer gatherings. No baking required beyond the crust!

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

For the cream cheese layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For the lemon layer:

  • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant lemon pudding mix

  • 3 cups cold milk

For the topping:

  • 2 cups whipped topping

  • Additional lemon zest or sliced lemon for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    In a bowl, mix flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans until combined.
    Press the mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.

  2. Make the cream cheese layer:
    In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
    Fold in whipped topping. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.

  3. Make the lemon layer:
    In another bowl, whisk together lemon pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, until thick.
    Spread over the cream cheese layer.

  4. Top it off:
    Spread remaining whipped topping over the lemon layer.
    Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  5. Serve:
    Garnish with lemon zest or slices before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy chilled!

Notes

  • For a crunchier crust, toast the pecans before mixing them into the crust.

  • You can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought if preferred.

  • Try using sugar-free pudding or light whipped topping for a lighter version.
