Fluffy Lemon Squares

Fluffy Lemon Squares
PREP: 25 min. + chilling

These rich bars, with a vanilla wafer crust, get their sweet-tart flavor from lemon gelatin, sherbet and Pudding mix. They’re fun to make with my grandchildren.

1-1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 45 wafers)
1/3 cup chopped pecans
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 packages (3 ounces each) lemon gelatin
1-1/4 cups boiling water
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
1 pint lemon sherbet, softened

In a small bowl, combine the wafer crumbs, pecans and butter; set aside 1/4 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. dish. Cover; refrigerate for 30minutes. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add pudding mix; beat on low speed for 2minutes. Add sherbet; beat on low for 1minute or until soft-set. Gently fold in whipped cream. Spread over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.

Yield: 12 servings.
