·

2 cups fresh whipped cream

Instructions
Stir together butter, flour, sugar, and chopped pecans in
a mixing bowl. A fork works really well to get everything mixed together. Press
into a 9x13 baking dish and bake 15-20 minutes at 350°, or until a light golden
brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Beat together cream cheese and sugar until creamy and
smooth. Spread over cooled crust.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together lemon curd and
whipped cream (gently). Spread on top of the cream cheese layer.
Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Spread whipped cream over the pudding layer. Cut into
18-24 pieces
