LEMON LUSH DESSERT

LEMON LUSH DESSERT

Ever since my parents were diagnosed with diabetes, we’ve all been cutting down on sweets as well as fatty ingredients. I have also been looking for dessert recipes that will not deprive their body of sugar. It would be sad if they could never enjoy another dessert again, so I really wanted to figure a way out of it. The only compromise I could think of, instead of making them eat just fruits for the rest of their lives, was a dessert that’s not sugary sweet and that has a reduced amount of fat. After a few hours of searching, I finally found this.

This is another sweet dessert recipe that combines the tanginess of citrus fruits and the sweetness of cakes. With the versatility of the lemon, this cake is given an extraordinary twist that everyone in the family will enjoy. Including my parents!

Lemon Lush is a cool, light, creamy dessert perfect for summer entertaining. Four layers give this dessert plenty of sweet and tart yumminess.

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

Once the warm, sunny weather has set in, one or two lemon desserts are always mandatory. Lemon Pudding Cakes and Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake are always favorites, but I am especially fond of layered desserts that can be made in a 9X13-inch pan. They can really feed a crowd – even a houseful of hungry teenagers.

To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:

For the Crust:
Butter, softened but not to room temperature
Flour
Sugar
Pecans,
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
Philadelphia cream cheese
