Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Bake the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Spread evenly over cooled crust.
- Prepare the Lemon Pudding Layer: In another large bowl, whisk together cold milk and instant lemon pudding mix until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spread over cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread thawed whipped topping evenly over the lemon pudding layer, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate Lemon Lush Dessert for at least 4 hours, or until set. Before serving, garnish with lemon zest, fresh berries, and mint leaves if desired. Cut into squares and enjoy chilled.
Variations: While the traditional Lemon Lush Dessert is delightful on its own, there are endless ways to customize it to your taste:
- Experiment with different citrus flavors by using orange or lime pudding mix instead of lemon.
- Substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread biscuits for a unique crust.
- Get creative with toppings such as chopped almonds, toasted coconut, or a drizzle of fruit syrup.
Creamy and indulgent, Lemon Lush Dessert is a delight that celebrates the zesty and refreshing flavors of lemon. Treat yourself and your loved ones to this bright, sugary delight that will surely elevate any dessert table.
