Description
A cool, creamy, and lemony dessert that’s easy to make and perfect for any gathering, without needing to turn on the oven.
Ingredients
Crust
- 24 cookies Golden Oreos (or Lemon Oreos if you find them, also great) (Crushed into fine crumbs)
- 1/2 cup Butter (Melted, for the crust)
Cream Layer
- 8 oz Cream cheese (Softened)
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar (For sweetness without graininess)
- 8 oz Whipped topping (Or homemade whipped cream if you prefer)
Pudding Layer
- 1 package Instant lemon pudding mix
- 2 cups Cold milk (To mix with the pudding)
Toppings
- 1 cup Extra whipped topping (For the final layer)
- Fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, extra cookies for topping (Optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Make the crust: Crush the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until it looks like wet sand. Press it firmly into a 9×13 dish.
- Make the creamy layer: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until fluffy. Spread gently over the crust.
- Mix the lemon pudding: Whisk instant lemon pudding mix with cold milk until thick. Let it sit for a minute, then spread over the cream layer.
- Top it off: Add a final layer of whipped topping. Sprinkle crushed cookies or lemon zest on top if you want it to look extra cute.
- Chill: Refrigerate at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. Then slice and serve cold.
Notes
For best results, chill longer than you think, and ensure all ingredients are cold to maintain texture. This dessert can be served in individual cups for convenience.
