Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the flour and butter using a pastry cutter until a ball forms. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and well blended. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and milk for 3 to 5 minutes. Spread over the cream cheese layer. Chill until set, then top with whipped topping.

• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until crust is light golden brown. Remove dessert from oven and let cool completely.
• CREAM CHEESE FILLING
• In a mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
• LEMON LAYER
• In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mixes and milk for 5 minutes. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
• WHIPPED TOPPING
• Whip heavy cream in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high until stiff peaks form. Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Spread whipped cream over pudding layer with a spatula. Sprinkle with lemon zest and chill for 1 hour before serving.
