If you're looking for a fun and refreshing easy pudding recipe, our Lemon Napoleons are really going to hit the spot. We've combined a lemon pudding cream with a flaky pastry creating a heavenly dessert. It's made with easy, everyday ingredients, plus it's bursting with lots of lemony freshness. Top each slice with our oh-so-good icing and a few berries, and get ready for a creamy pudding-filled favorite!
What You'll Need
- 1 (17-ounce) box frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 (4-serving-size) packages instant lemon pudding and pie filling
- 1 1/2 cup cold milk
- 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unfold both sheets of puff pastry, place each on a baking sheet, and bake according to package directions; let cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine lemon pudding mix and milk; whisk until thickened, then gently fold in whipped topping. Spread over 1 sheet of pastry. Place second piece of puff pastry flat side up over pudding. Using a baking sheet, gently press down the top sheet, slightly flattening it, making sure not to press so hard that the filling oozes out.
- In a medium bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Pour icing over top of pastry and spread to the edges. Chill at least 4 hours or until firm. Using a serrated knife, cut into squares and serve, or cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.
