Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 24 cookies Golden Oreo cookies or lemon-flavored Oreos for extra zing
  • 0.5 cups salted butter melted; unsalted butter works too
For the Filling
  • 2 packages instant lemon pudding mix or use vanilla pudding for a different vibe
  • 4 cups milk whole or 2% milk for creaminess
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened; avoid low-fat cream cheese
  • 1 cups powdered sugar can use granulated sugar but may not blend as smoothly
For the Topping
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed; can substitute with homemade whipped cream
  • 1 cups reserved crushed Oreos use whatever you have for extra crunch

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Food Processor
  • spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely crush about 24 Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor or by using a rolling pin. Combine crushed Oreos with ½ cup melted salted butter and press into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 packages of instant lemon pudding mix and 4 cups of cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Spread the lemon pudding layer over the crust.
  3. Beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in 1 cup of powdered sugar. Gently fold in 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip and spread over the lemon pudding.
  4. Layer the remaining lemon pudding on top of the cream cheese mixture, then spread the remaining Cool Whip to create an even topping.
  5. Sprinkle reserved crushed Oreos over the Cool Whip topping for a crunch. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  6. Cut into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.
