Crystal Swanson’s 3-Layer Lemon Dessert
Deserts / Cakes / Pies
- 3 Egg Whites ( )
- 2/3 c Sugar
- 1 can Lemon Pie Filling (I like to use the egg yolks and make a lg. pkg. filling)
- 1 pkg Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
- 1 c Milk
- 1/2 pt Heavy Cream
- Chopped Nuts for Topping
- Beat egg whites until foamy and gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff. Spread into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake in a slow oven (275-degrees) for 1 hour. Turn off oven and let meringue stay in oven overnight. Spread lemon filling on top of meringue. Make vanilla pudding, using only 1 cup milk. Let stand while you whip the cream. Fold the cream into pudding. Spread on top of lemon layer. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and refrigerate.
