Nutrition Facts : Calories 338.8 calories, Carbohydrate 39.2 g, Cholesterol 107.2 mg, Fat 19.2 g, Fiber 0.3 g, Protein 3.7 g, SaturatedFat 10 g, Sodium 173.9 mg, Sugar 27.4 g

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Grate the lemon zest before juicing the lemons. This will help release the essential oils in the zest and give the lemon lush a more intense lemon flavor.
  • Chill the pudding mixture before adding it to the crust. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding mixture. This will help prevent the whipped topping from deflating.
  • Chill the lemon lush for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lush to set.

Conclusion:

Lemon lush is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a weeknight treat, lemon lush is sure to be a hit.
