Tips:

  • To make sure your crust is the perfect consistency, mix the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth, even crust.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough for the crust. If you do, it will become tough and crumbly.
  • When you are baking the crust, be sure to prick it with a fork several times. This will help to prevent it from bubbling up.
  • To make sure the lemon curd is smooth and creamy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before using it.
  • When you are layering the dessert, be sure to press each layer down firmly. This will help to keep the dessert from falling apart.
  • To get the perfect slice of dessert, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This 4-layer lemon dessert is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. The pecan sandies crust is buttery and crumbly, the lemon curd is tart and tangy, and the whipped cream topping is light and airy. With its beautiful presentation and delicious flavor, this dessert is sure to impress your guests.
