Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 baking dish with pan spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, pecans, and salt. Add the butter and cut in with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the mixture until it begins to form a dough, but is still quite dry and crumbly.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 23-25 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and just starting to brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Add the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon zest to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth.
- Add cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled crust and smooth evenly over it.
- In a large bowl, add the lemon pudding powder and the milk and whisk until beginning to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the lemon pudding over the cream cheese and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Add the chilled cream and powdered sugar to a large bowl and use a hand mixer or stand mixer to mix until you achieve stiff peaks.
- Spread evenly over top of the lemon pudding.
- Cover with plastic wrap or foil and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before serving.
