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.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had a little trouble finding graham cracker crumbs, but I ended up using crushed vanilla wafers instead. They worked just as well.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The chocolate flavor really balances out the lemon.
