Though I haven’t frozen them, I don’t see why they couldn’t be. My recommendation would be to freeze and then thaw overnight in the refrigerator before you plan to serve them. I’d love to hear your thoughts! Enjoy!

This recipe is baffling. No way is a 1/2 c flour gonna cover a whole 9×13 pan. I doubled the flour, still came out pasty with so much butter- so I kept adding till I got a crumb. I added chopped walnuts but they were so coarse they were separating from the dough so I crushed them up with the pastry cutter- I would use finely chopped nuts instead. I baked it for 10 min, still a very thin crust but 10 min did not cut it, I put it back in for another 5 or 10. I’m praying the cream cheese and lemon layer proportions are more accurate bc I haven’t constructed it yet and I’m bringing it to a picnic. Idk, I’ve never left a review on a recipe before but people should be warned.

You’re funny. You being honest about getting side tracked as we all do to your husband’s description. Made me laugh!!!!

Oatmeal would be perfect replacement for nuts.

I agree. The butter to flour ratio seems off. My kids liked the crust with all the butter though. I used a 8×8 square glass pan. But did not half the recipe and the crust was enough for the 8×8 but I could see where it wouldn’t be enough for a 13×9, at least for me. I added a little lemon juice to the pudding to give it a nice tartness and more natural lemon taste.. My daughter was helping me and she only put 1/4 tsp. and that wasn’t enough. But next time will add maybe a tablespoon.

I the crust, if you follow the recipe, is horrible. I think adding more flour would help. There was too much butter in the pan when it was done baking.

I’m sorry but this came out absolutely horrible..there wasn’t enough crust to spread the entire bottom of the pan..and I doubled it!! Not only that but not specifying wether we should let the butter come to room temperature just made it a guessing game.. also my cream cheese layer came out lumpy because there wasn’t any specifications about letting that come to room temp either. I was really looking forward to making these but this was a total disappointment.
