How to Make Lemon Lush
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended), and ½ cup (1 stick) softened margarine. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 cup powdered sugar, and 8 ounces Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked crust.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the pudding according to package directions. Typically, this involves combining instant lemon pudding mix with milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Gently spread the lemon pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip and sprinkle with extra chopped nuts.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely.
