Don’t you just love lemon dessert recipes in the warm weather months? I know I do, so these lemon cream bars are a summer favorite at my house, and they could very well become a favorite at your house too!

Lemon Cream Bars

Start by baking the crust, and while it’s baking, you’ll prepare the lemon pudding and get that in the fridge. Once the crust is baked and cooled, mix together the cream cheese filling ingredients, and then gently spread that on top of the crust. It’s thick, so you need to go easy.

Next you’ll pour on that deliciously tangy lemon pudding. Oooo, this is such a yummy lemon dessert recipe. I can hardly wait!

And finally you’ll swoosh a layer of Cool Whip on top. Store in refrigerator, and before serving, cut into pieces.
