Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Use a pastry cutter to combine flour and butter in a large bowl until mixture is crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and well blended. Spread evenly over cooled crust.

Step 5

Whisk together milk and lemon pudding mix in a second medium bowl for 3 to 5 minutes. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill in the refrigerator until set, then top with whipped topping.
