Ingredients

For the Crust
1 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
For the Cream Cheese Filling
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
For the Lemon Layer
2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding
3-1/2 cups whole milk
For the Whipped Topping
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
zest of 1 lemon, for garnish

Steps:

CRUST
Heat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and flour until a ball forms. (You can also use a food processor or pastry cutter for this step.) Press the dough onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake 20 to 25 min. or until crust is light golden brown. Remove dessert from oven and let cool completely.
CREAM CHEESE FILLING
In a mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
LEMON LAYER
In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mixes and milk for 5 minutes. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
WHIPPED TOPPING
Whip heavy cream in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high until stiff peaks form. Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Spread whipped cream over pudding layer with a spatula. Sprinkle with lemon zest and chill for 1 hour before serving.
