Layered Lemon or Chocolate Lush

By ninebirch

If you like Lemon Meringue Pie, you should try this. It is wonderful. The original recipe called for instant lemon pudding but I prefer the cooked variety. Also excellent using chocolate pudding (instant or cooked). Any time I take this to a church dinner, there is never any left.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, divided
• 1 (3 ounce) box lemon pudding mix
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 1/4 cups water, divided
• 2 egg yolks

Preparation

Step 1

1 Mix flour, butter& chopped pecans together like biscuit dough and press into 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until brown.

2 Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 cup whipped topping and spread over first layer while still warm.

3 Stir lemon pudding mix, sugar, 1/4 cup water and egg yolks together in a medium saucepan. Stir in 2 cups water. Stirring constantly, with wire whisk, cook on medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. (NOTE: if you are using instant pudding or a different flavor, use the ingredients & directions for preparation on the package!).

4 Cool 5 minutes, stirring twice. Cool about 30 minutes more and spread over two previous layers. Cool completely and top with remaining whipped topping.
