Lemon Lush Dessert

We’ve been grilling up a storm lately! I think we used our grill four of the seven nights last week. We’ve really enjoyed this beautiful summer weather and being able to enjoy dinner outside. Not to mention the greatness we’ve had coming off that grill!
Today I wanted to share a dessert that is not only easy, but it’s perfect to go with any grill recipe! Lemon Lush is something I’ve been making for years with my grandma. We grilled some mean pork chops and topped it with delicious Kraft BBQ sauce. And my kids loved that we had started the meal with Country Time Lemonade. This dessert was the perfect way to end the meal!
Speaking of Kraft, this recipe includes three of my favorite Kraft products: Jell-O lemon pudding, Philadelphia cream cheese, and Cool Whip. Two ingredients that I love using to make amazing desserts. They were super stocked up at Walmart! I ended up getting a few extra boxes of different puddings.
Ingredients
Crust Layer
1 c butter softened, but not to room temperature
2 c flour
1/4 c sugar
1/2 c pecans chopped in small pieces
Cream Cheese Layer
2 packages cream cheese 8 oz
1 c powdered sugar
Pudding Layer
2 packages lemon instant pudding 3 oz
3 1/2 c cold milk
Topping
1 container cool whip 16 oz
lemon zest optional
Instructions
Crust Layer
1. Stir together butter, flour, sugar, and chopped pecans in a mixing bowl. (A fork works really well to get everything mixed together.)
2. Press into an ungreased 9x13 baking dish and bake 15-20 minutes at 350° F, or until a light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Cream Cheese Layer
1. Beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Spread over cooled crust.
Pudding Layer
1. In another mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mixes and milk. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to thicken up. Spread on top of the cream cheese layer; cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Topping
1. Spread whipped topping over the pudding layer. Cut into 18-24 pieces (depending on how large or small you cut them) and garnish with fresh lemon zest. Keep leftovers covered and stored in the fridge.
