Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
- Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream. Spread this mixture over the cooled crust.
- Lemon Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and cold milk for about 5 minutes or until the pudding starts to thicken. Spread the lemon pudding over the cream cheese layer.
- Top Layer: Spread the remaining whipped cream over the lemon pudding layer. Garnish with lemon zest or lemon slices.
- Refrigerate the lemon lasagna for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
