Lemon Ice Cream Bar


Wendell finally got around to making the real Lemon Ice Cream Bar dessert.

Mix 2 1/2 rolls Ritz crackers, crushed fine (put in ziplock and pound it with rolling pin) and 1 1/4 blocks melted butter.
Press into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown. Cool.
Mix 2 boxes instant lemon pudding with 1/4 c. cold water (it will be thick); be sure to whisk it well so the pudding dissolves completely.
Add 1/2 gallon softened vanilla ice cream.
Mix with your 30-year old "egg beater".
Scrape ice cream mixture into cooled crust. Freeze until firm. Spread whipped topping over ice cream mixture and return to freezer. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving for easier cutting. Cut into squares. Makes about 15 servings.
The article calls it a potluck dessert, but it doesn't seem like it would transport easily 'cause it kinda melts when left out. It was really, really good.

Hey Jalna, your sister is on to something there. Your husband's cookbook - that would be a super idea. He makes so many good dishes.
