Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (14.3-ounce) package Lemon Oreos or Golden Oreos (about 36 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
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 mix
- 3 cups milk
- lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreos to a very fine texture using a food processor. Transfer the crushed cookies into a large resealable plastic bag, add the melted butter, and shake well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Form the Crust: Press the buttered Oreo crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, ensuring the entire bottom is covered to create an even crust layer.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, blend together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, softened butter, and half of the whipped topping using a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust.
- Prepare the Lemon Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon instant pudding mixes and milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate Layers: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 5 minutes to allow the pudding layer to set slightly.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer. Cover and refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the Lemon Lasagna with fresh lemon slices for a decorative and zesty touch.
