I have been making Lemon Lush for years. I have made chocolate lush, cheesecake lush, pumpkin lush, creamsicle lush, banana lush, lime lush, well the list goes on and on. But lemon is always my favorite go to lush. I love lemon everything anyways.

 

 

PIN IT!!

 

 

 

 

 

The bottom is a buttery shortbread layer flavored with chopped pecans. Then there is a sweetened cream cheese layer followed by an easy lemon pudding layer made from an instant pudding mix. A layer of  Cool Whip on top gives a light, dreamy finish to this  dessert. 

 

 

Some people might think because this dessert is light and refreshing that it’s a summer dessert, but we make it all year long. This dessert is loved so much it is made for some family members birthdays instead of a cake!  Yes we love it that much!!

 

 

If your a lemon love you must try this dessert!!
