Servings: 18 servings
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 stick butter softened
Cheese layer:
- 1 package cream cheese, softened 8 oz
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping from an 8 oz container thawed
Lemon layer:
- 2 packages lemon instant pudding 3.4 oz each
- 2 ⅔ cups milk
Topping:
- 1 container frozen whipped topping, divided 8 oz (1 cup is used in the cheese layer)
- Additional chopped pecans if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Combine flour, pecans, and butter in a bowl until the mixture becomes coarse crumbs. Press into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until very lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric beater until fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping and spread the mixture on top of the cooled crust.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk pudding and milk until smooth and no lumps remain. Pour the lemon mixture on top of the cheese layer. Refrigerate until pudding is firm (about 30 minutes).
- Spread remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer and top with additional pecans, if desired.
- Let chill overnight and serve.
Notes
- Use any flavor of pudding you like!
