Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups Golden Oreo cookie crumbs about 36 cookies
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon zest packed, from 1 to 2 lemons
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 16 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed divided

- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 0.5 cups Golden Oreo cookie crumbs for topping, optional

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Crush the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin.
- Combine 3.0 cups Oreo crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of the dish to form an even crust. Chill while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla until completely smooth and fluffy.
- Fold 8.0 oz of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until just combined, then spread evenly over the chilled crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk instant lemon pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let stand for 2 minutes to finish setting.
- Spread the lemon pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining 8.0 oz whipped topping, smoothing the surface. Sprinkle with additional Oreo crumbs and garnish with lemon slices if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes before serving for clean slices.
Notes
For a stronger lemon flavor, add 1.0 tbsp fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese layer and increase zest to taste. This dessert keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
