like 9x13 pan or larger than that?

This is one I grew up with..I actually doubled the cream cheese layer. It's actually 8oz/1c... Google for pictures and lots of other recipes. It's pretty much a "by preference" type dessert.

Lemon Lush

Crust:

þ c butter, softened

1 ý c flour

þ c grated pecans

Mix ingredients and press into 9x13 pan. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees; cool. (I cool on wire rack for about 15 minutes and then put in refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.)

1st Layer:

16oz cream cheese, very soft

2 c powdered sugar

Juice of half a lemon

Beat cream cheese smooth; mix in powdered sugar and lemon juice. Fold in whipped topping. Spread gently over crust.

2nd Layer:

4 ý c milk

3 packages instant lemon pudding

Juice of half a lemon

Mix milk with pudding. Add lemon juice. Whip until thick and let set. Spread over cream cheese layer.

Top with 2 c whipped topping (cool whip or whipped cream).

Note: Other flavors of pudding maybe used. Use a t-T of flavoring or Liqueur to compliment pudding, in place of lemon juice.

I always made 3 Easy Pineapple Cream Cheese Pies for my hubby to take.. It is so easy and delicious, too. Here ya go.

Easy Pineapple Cream Cheese Pie

Whip a large package of Philly Cream Cheese with 1/4th cup sugar. Fold in 2 cups whipped cream ( Cool Whip) and a whole 1 lb 4 oz drained can of crushed pineapple. Chill at least an hour. Cut and serve. I always knew to send copies of the recipe because guys always asked for it.

Makes 1 9" pie..

Note: you can always put a layer of bananas on the bottom, too.

If you love pineapple this will always be a huge hit!!!!!

All of those recipes really sound good to me.

That picture looks like a trifle bowl. I use a regular punch bowl, cause the cake serves a lot. Maybe, cause I don't know, punch bowls now look like the one above :o)
