LAYERED LEMON OR CHOCOLATE LUSH (AKA LUSCIOUS LEMON LAYERS)



Layered Lemon or Chocolate Lush (Aka Luscious Lemon Layers) image

If you like Lemon Meringue Pie, you should try this. It is wonderful. The original recipe called for instant lemon pudding but I prefer the cooked variety. Also excellent using chocolate pudding (instant or cooked). Any time I take this to a church dinner, there is never any left.

LEMONY LAYER BARS



Lemony Layer Bars image

One of my favorite cakes is a white chocolate cake with coconut lemon filling, dark chocolate frosting and almonds. This version of a seven-layer bar combines all those flavors into an easy-to-eat treat. Using soda cracker crumbs makes the bars a little different. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois
