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
