Layered Lemon or Chocolate Lush (Aka Luscious Lemon Layers)

"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."

  1. I have made this several times and have forgotten to review it! My apologies! This is a fabulous dessert! I couldn't improve on it al all. Since there is only me, I always make it for pot lucks, or when I'm having company. I will try the chocolate version next.
     
  2. I have made this and it a lovely refreshing dessert. Will make it again
     
  3. I made this and added lemon zest to the cream cheese and used graham crackers for the crust it turned out so good. Making it for Thanksgiving.

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
