  1. I made this last 4th of July. I offered 3 dessert options and this was the only one that was totally devoured after the fireworks. The extra lemon juice really gives the pudding a nice tartness. It balances well with the creamy layers and pecan crust. Had several people ask for the recipe.
     
  2. This recipe is great! So much like a favorite that my Aunt makes. The only change I made was making double the crust because I couldn't spread it thin enough. I also used crisco on the pan before adding the crust, every piece came out so easy. I'm definitely making this again!
     
  3. I made this according to the recipe, AND THEN added a sprinkle of lemon zest & some additional chopped pecans on top of the final whipped topping! Absolutely delicious & a wonderful dessert, especially if you're a lemon lover! Thanks for such a great keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook Tag]
     
  4. I'm not a huge sweets/desserts person, but this looked good to me. Made it last night and it was good! Hubby loved it. To me it tasted like a lemon filled powdered sugar donut. Delicious!
     
  5. Great recipe. The hardest part was getting just 1 cup of Cool Whip to spread over the top of the 13x9 pan. I was tempted to give up and put more Cool Whip on top. But I didn't and I finally got it to stretch. It tastes just wonderful. The crust is a perfect compliment to the lemon flavor but I think it would be good with a graham cracker crust as well,if you don't like pecans. My family liks this recipe. It is a keeper!!! Thanks!

Tweaks

  1. Use the lemon pie filling mix instead of the lemon pudding mix. Better flavor and texture.
