Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Golden Oreo cookies

- 2 packages (3.4 ounces, each) instant lemon pudding mix
- 3 1/4 cups milk
- 2 containers (8 ounces, each) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
- Crush Oreo Cookies:
Crush all Oreo cookies in a food processor or with a rolling pin in a large ziplock bag. Reserve 3/4 cup of the crushed Oreos for the topping. - Create Oreo Crust:
Pour the remaining crumbs into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs, mix together, and press this down into the bottom of the pan to create the crust. - Prepare Lemon Pudding Layer:
In a medium bowl, mix together both lemon pudding mixes and the milk. Whisk well to combine. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 5 minutes to thicken. - Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a separate bowl, place the cream cheese and blend until smooth. Blend in the powdered sugar until combined. Fold in one container of Cool Whip. Gently spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. - Layer with Lemon Pudding:
Spread the lemon pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. - Top with Cool Whip and Oreos:
Spread the remaining container of Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos all over the dessert. - Chill and Serve:
Cover and chill in the fridge for 2 hours before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy the luscious layers of flavor.
Tips:
- Customize the thickness of the Oreo crumbs to your preference for the crust.
