Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 (14.3-ounce) package Lemon Oreos (or Golden Oreos, about 36 cookies)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 (16-ounce) tub whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream), divided
2 (3.4-ounce) boxes lemon instant pudding
3 cups cold milk
For Garnish:
Lemon slices (optional)
Lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Create the Crust: Start by crushing the Lemon Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor. Alternatively, you can put them in a zip-top plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them finely. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted butter until they are evenly moistened. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to create a smooth, even crust.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
- Make the Lemon Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and cold milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Spread this layer over the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the Whipped Topping: Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the lemon pudding layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly.
- Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dessert to set completely. For best results, chill for several hours or overnight. Before serving, you can top it off with fresh lemon zest, lemon slices, or edible flowers to give it an elegant flair.
Notes
For best flavor and texture, chill overnight.
Swap Lemon Oreos with Golden Oreos or shortbread cookies if desired.
