Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- For the Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- For the Lemon Pudding Layer:
- 2 small boxes (3.4 oz each) instant lemon pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup whipped topping
- Lemon zest (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
3. Make the Lemon Pudding Layer:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Pour and spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
4. Add the Final Topping:
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the lemon pudding layer, ensuring it’s smooth and even. If desired, garnish with lemon zest for an extra pop of flavor and color.
5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the Lemon Lush for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. Once chilled, slice it into squares and serve.
