IRENE'S LEMON LUSH

Steps:

• Put the cream cheese & butter into two different mixing bowls to soften. When they are, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• 1st Layer: Mix together butter, flour, and chopped nuts with a pastry cutter or two large forks, as you would for a pie crust. Press into a 13 x 9" baking pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
• 2nd Layer: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 2 cups of Cool Whip with a mixer until smooth, then spread on the cooled crust. Refrigerate until the lemon pudding is cooled in the next step.
• 3rd Layer: Prepare the cooked lemon pudding, as directed on the package, with the pudding mix, sugar, water (just a little at first), and egg yolks. Add the rest of the water. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cool completely before pouring over the cream cheese layer.
• It should look about like this.
• 4th Layer: Spread the rest of the Cool Whip over the lemon pudding layer.
• Refrigerate overnight or until chilled through. Refrigerate any leftovers.
• NOTES: This recipe is easy to halve when you're not cooking for a crowd. Just press the crust into a 9" square pan to bake. Everything else should fit in nicely. You can also save a few calories by using fat-free cream cheese & Cool Whip. Someone out there might also have a sugar-free cooked lemon pudding recipe, too. Aunt Irene's recipe called for THREE boxes of cooked lemon pudding, but I make it with only TWO boxes, to save calories & all that extra cooking time. I also think the ratio of lemon pudding to the cream cheese layer to the cookie crust is still good with less pudding, but experiment & decide for yourself, as I always encourage. =^..^=
