When they are, set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. 1ST LAYER: Mix together butter, flour, and chopped nuts with a pastry cutter or two large forks, as you would for a pie crust. Press into a 13 x 9" baking pan and bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely. 2ND LAYER: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 2 cups of Cool Whip with a mixer until smooth, then spread on the cooled crust. Refrigerate until the lemon pudding is cooled in the next step. 3RD LAYER: Prepare the cooked lemon pudding, as directed on the package, with the pudding mix, sugar, water (just a little at first), and egg yolks. Add the rest of the water. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cool completely before pouring over the cream cheese layer. 4TH LAYER: Spread the rest of the Cool Whip over the lemon pudding layer. Refrigerate overnight or until chilled through. Refrigerate any leftovers. NOTES: This recipe is easy to halve when you're not cooking for a crowd. Just press the crust into a 9" square pan to bake. Everything else should fit in nicely. You can also save a few calories by using fat-free cream cheese & Cool Whip. Someone out there might also have a sugar-free cooked lemon pudding recipe, too.
