Equipment

  • food processor or resealable plastic bag and rolling pin
  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14.3-ounce package Lemon Oreos or Golden Oreos about 36 cookies
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 16-ounce tub whipped topping divided (or use homemade whipped cream)
  • 2 3.4-ounce boxes lemon instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Crush the Lemon or Golden Oreos in a food processor until very fine; alternatively place cookies in a large resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a bowl or bag and stir or shake until evenly moistened.
  • Press the buttered cookie crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and softened 1/2 cup butter with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Fold in half of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until combined, then spread this layer evenly over the crust.
  • In another bowl, whisk the two boxes of lemon instant pudding with 3 cups milk until the pudding thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
  • Pour the thickened lemon pudding over the cream cheese layer and spread gently to cover.
  • Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it into an even layer, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (and up to 24 hours) before serving.
  • Garnish with lemon slices just before serving.

Notes

  • This can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated until serving.
  • Use homemade whipped cream in place of store-bought if preferred.
  • Swap pudding flavors and cookies to change the dessert flavor.
  • Chocolate pudding pairs well with chocolate Oreos and chocolate curls.
  • White chocolate pudding works with golden Oreos and white chocolate curls.
  • Banana pudding pairs with golden Oreos and banana slices.
