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. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
8 ounces cream cheese |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, divided |
1 (3 ounce) box lemon pudding mix |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 1/4 cups water, divided |
2 egg yolks |
Directions:
1. Mix flour, butter& chopped pecans together like biscuit dough and press into 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until brown.
2. Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 cup whipped topping and spread over first layer while still warm.
3. Stir lemon pudding mix, sugar, 1/4 cup water and egg yolks together in a medium saucepan. Stir in 2 cups water. Stirring constantly, with wire whisk, cook on medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. (NOTE: if you are using instant pudding or a different flavor, use the ingredients & directions for preparation on the package!).
4. Cool 5 minutes, stirring twice. Cool about 30 minutes more and spread over two previous layers. Cool completely and top with remaining whipped topping.
5. Chill.
