• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, melted and cooled butter, finely ground pecans and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake 20-25 minutes (25 mins works best for me) until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before adding any layers.
• Using a hand electric mixer, combine cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (2 tablespoons works best for me). Mixture should be even and smooth. Spread evenly on top of the baked and cooled bottom pecan crust.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk milk and instant lemon pudding mix until set. It may take 4-5 minutes to thicken. Spread evenly on top of the lemon cream cheese mixture.
• Spread thawed whipped topping on top of the pudding layer. Add lemon zest and optional finely chopped pecans. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set before serving. Optionally, you can freeze the Lemon Lush overnight for more defined slices. Do not freeze if you substitute homemade whipped cream because it might not hold up like frozen whipped topping like Cool Whip. Enjoy!
