2 Dessert Recipes Perfect for Thanksgiving

I don't know how to bake pies... at all. No clue! This is my way of cheating that process and still enjoy 2 Thanksgiving favorites. 

Lemon Lush tastes just like Lemon Meringue pie in my humble opinion and Pumpkin Dessert tastes like Pumpkin Pie. 

Lemon Lush
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip
3 cups milk
2 (3 1/2 oz) packages instant lemon pudding
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, melted

1. Mix and spread the butter and flour in bottom of 13 x 9 x 2 dish. Flatten out. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool.
2. Combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, and 2 cups of the cool whip until well mixed. Spread over crust.
3. Mix lemon pudding and milk. Spread over cream cheese mixture. Chill.
4. Serve with remaining cool whip.

Store leftovers in the fridge.
