Description

A refreshing no bake layered lemon dessert featuring a buttery pecan sandies crust, a smooth cream cheese layer, bright lemon pudding, and a fluffy Cool Whip topping.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 11 ounces Pecan Sandies, crushed
  • 8 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 boxes instant lemon pudding mix (3.4 oz each)
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. Crush the Pecan Sandies and mix with softened butter to form a crumb mixture.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into a 9×13 inch dish to create the crust and chill.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  5. Prepare lemon pudding by whisking pudding mixes with cold milk until thickened.
  6. Spread the lemon pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Top with Cool Whip, spreading into an even layer.
  8. Chill at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese fully for a smooth layer.
  • Use cold milk to help pudding thicken properly.
  • Chill longer for cleaner slices and firmer layers.
