This refreshing Lemon Lasagna dessert features a crunchy Oreo crust layered with a creamy lemon-flavored filling and topped with whipped topping. Perfect for a make-ahead treat, it combines the tangy zest of lemon pudding with the smoothness of cream cheese and butter in a no-bake, refrigerator-chilled dessert.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Refrigerate Layers: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 5 minutes to allow the pudding layer to set slightly.
  6. 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.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the Lemon Lasagna with fresh lemon slices for a decorative and zesty touch.
