Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
3 ½ cups milk
2 (3.4 oz) pkgs instant lemon pudding mix
1 (12 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
sliced strawberries for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Use a pastry cutter to combine flour and butter in a large bowl until mixture is crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4. Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and well blended. Spread evenly over cooled crust.
5. Whisk milk and lemon pudding mix together in a second medium bowl for 3 to 5 minutes. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill in the refrigerator until set, then top with whipped topping.
