Time 2h45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup softened butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
2 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups water
3 eggs, beaten
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Combine the flour and pecans in a mixing bowl. Mix in the softened butter until the mixture is evenly moistened and no clumps of butter remain. Press the crust evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping, then spread the mixture over the cooled crust. Chill in the refrigerator.
  • Stir the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a saucepan along with enough water to make a paste. Stir in the eggs until smooth, then add the remaining water, vinegar, and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and the lemon extract. Chill the mixture until cold.
  • Spread the cold lemon mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining whipped topping.

This sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy. I love that it's so versatile. I've used it on chicken, fish, and even vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but this sauce was surprisingly good. It was light and refreshing, and the lemon flavor was subtle.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce turned out lumpy and the chicken was overcooked.

The sauce was a little too runny for my liking. I would recommend adding more cornstarch next time.

This sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
