Ingredients
For the crust:
- 12 ounces Nilla Wafers
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
For the cream cheese layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces refrigerated whipped topping
- 1 lemon zest only
For the lemon pudding layer:
- 2 boxes instant lemon pudding 3.4 ounces each
- 3 cups cold milk
For topping:
- 8 ounces refrigerated whipped topping
Instructions
To make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the Nilla wafers to a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. Alternately, place the wafers in a ziploc bag, seal, and crush with a mallet or rolling pin.
- Pour Nilla wafer crumbs into a 9x13 baking dish along with the melted butter and sugar. Stir to combine.
- Press the crumbs out to cover the bottom of the dish.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
To make the cheesecake layer:
- Place the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped topping into a mixing bowl.
- Use a microplane grater to zest the lemon and add lemon zest to the mixing bowl.
- Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
To make the lemon layer:
- Add the pudding mix and cold milk to a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Once the pudding mixture has begun to thicken, spread in evenly over the cheesecake layer.
For topping:
- Spread the whipped topping over the lemon pudding in an even layer.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- The crust softens up the longer it sits. We prefer to serve this after 8 hours in the fridge, but it's good in just an hour. Leftovers will last for 4-5 days tightly covered.
