Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped or crushed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar (confectioner's)
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip Topping, divided, thawed
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant lemon pudding
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 35o degrees.
  • Cut butter into flour, then add nuts and press into bottom of ungreased 13x9 inch pan.
  • Bake crust at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until it begins to brown (takes a long time).

  • Mix until well blended and spread evenly over crust.
  • Beat pudding mixes and milk together well and spread over cream cheese layer.

  • Refrigerate until it sets.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready before you start baking. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice will give your dessert a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
