How to Make Lemon Pudding Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
  8. In a large bowl, prepare the lemon pudding according to package directions using 3 cups of milk.
  9. Pour the prepared lemon pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  10. Spread the remaining 2/3 cup of whipped topping evenly over the pudding.
  11. Sprinkle with chopped nuts (optional).
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set completely before serving.
