Lemon Delight

1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 stick margarine
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
2-1/2 cups cool whip
2 (3.4 oz) pkgs instant lemon pudding
3 cups milk
1 cup powdered sugar

1st layer: mix flour, pecans and margarine Press into 9x13 inch pan and bake at 350? for ten minutes; let cool.

2nd layer: Blend together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Fold in 1 cup Cool Whip and spread on crust.

3rd layer: Mix instant puddings with milk and spread on top of second layer.

4th layer: Spread 1-1/2 cups Cool Whip on top and garnish with chopped pecans, if desired.

Variation: May also be made with chocolate or butterscotch puddings

The grocery stores around me carry it but it's a bit expensive. I usually get it at an Italian grocery store near me because it's cheap there. I know that the super walmart near me does NOT sell it. It has a milder flavor than regular cream cheese so I'm not sure if you can substitute it with regular cream cheese. I usually get the amaretti cookies in the Italian grocery store, too.

oh my.. that sounds great!:D

There is a place here in Pittsburgh called the 'strip district' that has all different ethnic food stores. They are in wharehouse type stores but they have EVERYTHING--sometimes the most obscure ingredients I can find there. My boyfriend and I love to cook and we can find almost anything in the strip but our grocery store chains (not walmart, though) sell mascarpone cheese--it's just double the price in the grocery store.

This link has substitutions for mascarpone cheese since it is difficult to find in most stores ... heck, it's probably cheaper to use the substitution...

CREAMY CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
(From A Passion for Chocolate)

Prep time 2hrs
Bake time 45 min
Chill time 4 hrs

1 1/2 cup finely crushed chocolate wafers
1/3 cup butter
4 oz semi sweet chocolate chopped
3 – 8 oz packages cream cheese softened

For crust-combine crushed wafers and butter. Press evenly into the bottom and 1 3/4 inches up the sides of a 9-in springform pan. Set aside.

For filling- in a heavy saucepan melt chocolate over low heat. Remove from heat; cool. In a medium mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add flour; beat well. Add the cooled chocolate. Add the eggs all at once, beating on low speech just until combined.

Pour filling into crust lined pan. Place pan in a shallow baking pan on oven rack. Bake in a 375˚ oven for 45-50 minutes or until center appears nearly set when shaken (center will look soft but will set up as it cools.)

Cool cheesecake in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Use small metal spatula to loosen crust from sides of pan. Cool 30 minutes more. Remove sides of pan. Cool 1 hour. Cover, chill at least 4 hours.
