For a creamy yet light and refreshing dessert, give this layered lemon dessert recipe a try. Alternating layers of zingy lemon pudding combine with creamy sweetened cream cheese mousse for a delicious treat that is perfect for celebrating springtime and warmer days.

The dessert is similar to the chocolate delight dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 sticks butter or margarine
  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 cups whipped cream or thawed frozen whipped topping (divided)
  • 3 boxes (4-serving size) instant lemon pudding
  • 5 cups cold milk

Steps to Make It

  1. Heat the oven to 375 F.

  2. Crumble flour and margarine together. Blend together and press in bottom of a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; let cool.

  4. Cream the confectioners' sugar and cream cheese together. Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping and spread on cooled crust.

  5. Mix 3 boxes of lemon instant pudding with 5 cups of cold milk (do not follow the directions on pudding box). Pour over the second layer and top with additional whipped topping.

  6. Chill thoroughly (about 2 hours) before serving.
