Lemon Lush aka Robert Redford's Better Than Sex Dessert

in , , , , by ðŸ‘Đ‍ðŸģ Cooking With a Southern Vibe in Music City USA ðŸ‘Đ‍ðŸģ, March 01, 2022


Kicking off this month's worth of lemon desserts off with one of the very best.  

EVERYBODY loves this, recipe, initially the name draws them in, but one taste and they're hooked.     It's been reinvented as Lemon Lush, Lemon Delight, it's had many names over the years, but Robert Redford was the name that made this dessert famous back in the 70's.  

I've often thought of renaming this myself changing the name from Robert Redford to Sam Elliott ðŸĪŠ

I always make this a day ahead, it's wonderful for company, it's so bright and lively, it's just a totally, completely refreshing, yummy dessert...

1st Layer

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 sticks melted butter
1 cup chopped nuts


2nd Layer:


1 cup powdered sugar, I always sift mine, so it isn't lumpy
1 8 oz. package softened cream cheese
1 cup Cool Whip


3rd Layer:


1 large package lemon instant pudding mix
3 cups milk


4th Layer:


Remaining Cool Whip


Top with another 1/2-1 cup of chopped pecans


Mix 1st layer and press into 9×13 pan that you've sprayed with cooking spray.  It will seem skimpy, it's not, you just keep flattening it out in the pan. Bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees. 


Remove and cool. 


Mix 2nd layer together by blending the softened cream cheese with a mixer, then mix in the powdered sugar and last, fold in the Cool Whip.  Spread  over 1st layer. Place in fridge to chill. 


Mix the pudding with milk and whip for 2 minutes. Spread over second layer. Chill.


Spread remaining Cool Whip over all and chill. Garnish with chopped nuts
