1/2 c. nuts, chopped

1 8 oz. Pkg. of cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 of large Cool Whip (approx. 8 oz.)
Pour into crust.
Third Layer:
Mix together
2 pkg. lemon instant pudding
3 c. milk
Beat two minutes. Spread on second layer. Let set up.

Other half of Cool Whip (approx. 8 oz.)

Variations: Several kind people suggested that Chocolate or Butterscotch pudding could be substituted for the lemon pudding for a different dessert. And, I added lemon extract to the second layer just to give it a little more lemony taste. I used tsp. because I didn't want the layer to get too watery, but I think it would be possible to add up to a tsp. without affecting the quality.
