LAYERED LEMON OR CHOCOLATE LUSH (AKA LUSCIOUS LEMON LAYERS)
If you like Lemon Meringue Pie, you should try this. It is wonderful. The original recipe called for instant lemon pudding but I prefer the cooked variety. Also excellent using chocolate pudding (instant or cooked). Any time I take this to a church dinner, there is never any left.

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.
