Lemon Dessert

One of my favorite summertime desserts! Anything lemony just tastes especially delicious when the weather is hot. Use fresh lemon juice; it's so much better!

Lemon Dessert

1 c. flour
1 c. walnuts, chopped
2 T. finely chopped walnuts
1/2 c. butter
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
2 (8-oz.) containers Cool Whip
3 (4-oz.) packages instant lemon pudding mix
3 T. lemon juice
3 c. milk


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine flour, chopped nuts and butter. Mix together thoroughly. Press into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool.

In another bowl, soften cream cheese and fold in one container Cool Whip. Spread over baked crust.

In the same bowl, mix together pudding, lemon juice and milk. Fold in remaining Cool Whip and spread over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle finely chopped nuts on top. Refrigerate. Makes 12 to 15 servings.
