How to Make Lorna Doone Lemon Dessert

  1. Crush 1 ½ packages (about 15-18 cookies) of Lorna Doone shortbread cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 8 ounces cool whip, and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crust.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix and 1 ¾ cups cold milk until smooth and thickened. Let stand for a few minutes to set slightly.
  5. Gently spread the lemon pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Top with an additional 8 ounces of cool whip, if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
