My husband's granny used to make this for all their family gatherings. After she passed away I took on the tradition.

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST
1 c flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 stick margarine
1/2 c chopped pecans
FILLING
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c powdered sugar
1 c cool whip
TOPPING
2 box instant lemon pudding
3 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Mix ingredients for crust in food processor till crumbly; press into bottom of 9X13 pan. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. (Granny always stressed DO NOT overcook the crust. It's better to take it out a minute or two early than to have it crumble when you're spreading the filling on)
  • 2. In a medium bowl mix the ingredients for the filling with an electric mixer; pour over cooled crust and chill until set.
  • 3. Mix the ingredients for the topping with an electric mixer in a small bowl and pour over filling. Top this with remaining cool whip then chopped pecans.
