Replaced the lemon pudding for the new Jello pumpkin spice flavor. And it was awesome.

Wow, for simplicity and ease of preparation I give it 5 stars! For taste, I give it 5 stars! Made this for my in-laws and they were fighting over the last bite. Made per recipe, without adding additional lemon because they didn't have it at their house, but I could taste the lemon from the pudding. It was SO good!

I was looking through my reviews today, and realized that I totally forgot to review this one. I made this for my 30th birthday party because I opted for a bunch of desserts instead of a cake. I followed the recipe pretty much as written, except for following the advice of cyndi gephart (Thanks, Girl!), and adding some fresh lemon juice and fresh lemon zest for a more "authentic" lemon flavor. I think next time, I will try the lemon pie filling just to see if it tastes as good. Everyone loved it and thought it was creamy goodness. I know it will become a new staple to our dessert table. Thanks for posting. :)

This is a very good recipe, everyone seemed to really enjoy it, but I have to agree with others that the lemon pudding is too "fake" tasting and doesn't do this recipe justice. The pudding wasn't lemon-y enough, but to fix that I added some lemon zest on top and that helped a lot. What would bring this recipe to a fantastic, beyond five star recipe is to simply nix the pudding and instead do lemon pie filling. I'm going to make my own next time and I think this will be an incredible recipe.

This recipe has a lot of possibilities... I didn't really like the lemon puding, but you can use lemon pie filling and it is much better. Also, you can use any different kind of pie filling for a change. I add a little almond extract to the cream cheese mixture and use cherry pie filling, then sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the cool whip. I have also used peach pie filling. Very good, just use your imagination.

This is a great, refreshing dessert! I followed the recipe exact, and wish I had followed other reviewers and added some lemon extract or lemon juice to the pudding mixture. I will definitely do this the next time, because I would like it to be more tart, a stronger lemon flavor. Don't get me wrong, this is delicious as is, but it's very mild as lemon flavor goes. This has a lot potential, the pudding flavors could be changed, but keep the recipe the same. The crust in this is excellent, would work with chocolate pudding too. I would like to try lemon pie filling with this instead of pudding also. This recipe is a keeper, wonderful for the summer months..thank you! (:

Made to specifications and it was a huge hit! Not having worked with pudding and jello mixes before, I was unaware that this would take Several hours to set. It was suggested by my mother-in-law that when she adds fruit or anything else to jello and pudding mixes, it takes much longer. The recipe was incredibly rich and delicious. Thank you for sharing.

When I mentioned to my family that I made a lemony dessert no one seemed too excited-until they took their first bite! We loved it! The only change I made was adding about a 1/2 tsp. of lemon extract to the pudding. I wouldn't hesitate to serve this to company. This would be especially refreshing on a hot summer day. I will make this again for sure!

Ahh, what memories this recipe brings me. I have made a version of this. I use chopped walnuts in the crust. For the cream chesse mix, I add in Cool Whip and powdered sugar. Talk about hurting yourself!

This is the most delicious dessert. The blend of cream cheese and lemon is amazingly refreshing. Throw in the nutty crust and you have a winner.

Based on the other reviews, I used homemade lemon and a graham cracker pie crust, and it was fantastic (and homemade lemon pudding is surprisingly fast and easy to make). My coworkers and I had this eaten in less than 30 minutes!

This is a great and very versatile recipe. I like to add some chopped almonds to the crust- gives it a slightly nutty flavor. During the summertime I like to use banana pudding and the strawberry Kool-whip instead of lemon and vanilla. You can play around with different flavors- and even different flavors of cream cheese as well.

I get many compliments when I make this simple dessert. I like to make mine with a graham cracker crust. The last time I made it I used Famous Amos Lemon Cookies for the crust then sprinkled the crumbs on top too. It was delicious!

Nice dessert. Will be served for summer picnics for sure. I did do as others stated and added lemon juice. I added about 1 1/2 TBSP. to the pudding mixture. And I'm glad I did.

This was a huge hit with my two grandkids. They helped make it and really think it tastes good too. I took bragabit's suggestion and made it with vanilla and chocolate layered instant pudding. I also topped the whipped topping with toasted cocount and pecans. Very-very good. I look forward trying the lemon pudding mix. Thanks

Great starter recipe. Made it with the following changes: 1. Used crust containing oatmeal from Lemon Cheesecake Squares (this site) for added crunch/fiber. 2. Based on other reviews, I used cooked lemon pudding (replacing some of the water with the juice of 1/2 lemon and adding the grated peel from the whole lemon). I wanted something light that actually tasted like lemons. It was a HUGE hit!

My mother has been making this recipe since I was a little girl..it is delisious! Very light and yummy! The only modification I would suggest (that my mother does) is add some crushed walnuts to the crust batter... TIP: MAKE THE CRUST.. as it is the best part of the recipe!
