Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 16 ounces whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), divided
• 6.8 ounces instant lemon pudding mix
• 3 cups cold milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping (8 ounces) until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Be careful to cover the entire surface evenly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Spread the lemon pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 8

Spread the remaining whipped topping (8 ounces) over the top of the lemon pudding layer, spreading it out evenly to create the fourth layer.

Step 9

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your refreshing Four Layer Lemon Delight!
