Step by Step Method
FOR THE CRUST
Step 1
Stir together butter, flour, sugar, and chopped pecans in a mixing bowl. A fork works really well to get everything mixed together. Press mixture into a light greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350°, or until a light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
FOR THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER
Step 2
Beat together cream cheese and 1 cup confectioners' sugar until creamy and smooth. Spread over cooled crust.
FOR THE PUDDING & TOPPING LAYER
Step 3
In another mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and whole milk. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to thicken up a little. Spread on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Step 4
Spread Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Cut into 18-24 pieces (depending on how large or small you cut them) and garnish with fresh lemon zest.
Step 5
Chill until ready to serve.
