1 - 1/2 c sugar
1/3 c plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 - 1/2 c cold water
3 Tbsp butter, cubed
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 c lemon juice
CRUST
1 c all-purpose flour
1 c finely chopped walnuts
1/2 c cold butter
TOPPING
1 pkg (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 c confectioners' sugar
2 c cold milk
2 pkg (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 carton (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; gradually stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and lemon peel. Gently stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate until cool.
  • 2. In a bowl, combine flour and nuts. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
  • 3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth; carefully spread over crust. Spread with cooled lemon mixture. In another bowl, beat milk and pudding mixes on low for 2 minutes; beat in vanilla. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread over lemon layer. Spread with remaining whipped topping. Chill for at least 4 hours before cutting.
