Aunt Dora's Lemon Lust

This recipe came to me from looking through Grandma's recipe cards and Mom saying that this was yummy and that she and Aunt Diane used to eat it as a kid.  It is pretty easy to make and it is indeed a yummy treat!  This would be perfect for a summertime dessert because it is so light and refreshing. The crust is like a crumbly Pecan Sandie cookie! 
*OMG after have made and eating this OUTSTANDING dessert I have figured out why it is called lemon lust.  It is because once you have tasted it, you lust after it! 


Ingredients:
1 stick of butter
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of chopped nuts
1 8oz cream cheese (at room temp)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup cool whip
2 pks instant lemon pudding
3 cups cold milk
cool whip to top


I chopped my nuts up in my chopper so that they were pretty fine, that way the crust wouldn't have a huge chunks of nuts.



melt butter and mix it with flour and nuts
spread mixture and press mixture into bottom of a 9x13 pan
bake at 350 for 15 mins, let cool

Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together

mix in cool whip

Spread over mixture over crust

spread it gently as to not rip crust

Mix 3 cups cold milk and 2 packs of instant lemon pudding, mix until it is a little stiff


Spread over cream cheese layer

Cover the top with cool whip. 
Let it set in refrigerator until cold

I added some yellow sprinkles to mine to make it a little more festive!
Enjoy!
