Lemon Lasagna Ingredients

• Golden Oreo cookies
• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Cool whip
• Powdered sugar
• Lemon juice
• Instant vanilla pudding mix
• Instant lemon pudding mix
• Milk
• Lemons (optional)

Four layers of deliciousness are one reason this dessert is called a lemon lasagna. It starts with a crushed Golden OREO crust, which adds the perfect amount of crunch to the creamy layers of the dessert.

On top of the cookie crust are layers of sweetened cream cheese, lemon pudding, and whipped topping. You can top your finished dessert lasagna with lemons, reserved crushed OREOS, crushed walnuts, toasted coconut, slivered almonds, or even sliced strawberries.

Making this lemon recipe ahead of time will give the pudding extra time to set and cool. This will also give it a thicker consistency. Then just slice and serve this refreshing dessert.

How to Make Lemon Lasagna

FIRST STEP: Place whole golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Set aside one cup of crushed Oreos for topping.

SECOND STEP: In a medium bowl, combine crushed golden Oreos with ½ cup melted butter.

THIRD STEP: Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator.

FOURTH STEP: In a large mixing bowl mix softened cream cheese, 8 oz cool whip, one cup powdered sugar, and lemon juice from 1 lemon until smooth.

FIFTH STEP: Spread evenly over the cookie layer. Chill in the refrigerator.

SIXTH STEP: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups milk with both instant pudding flavors until pudding thickens.

SEVENTH STEP: Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer. Chill.

EIGHTH STEP: Top with remaining cool whip.

NINTH STEP: Chill for at least one hour before serving. Cover with remaining Oreo crumbs and lemon slices for garnish, if desired.

Cooking Tips 

You can substitute Lemon OREOS for Golden OREOS if you want to up the lemon flavor. You could also do a shortcake crust or a graham cracker crust instead.   

Be sure to leave the Oreo filling inside the Oreos when you crush them. This will help keep the crumbs together when you make your crust.

Make sure you use regular milk for the pudding. It will not set if you use dairy-free or lactose-free milk.

For best results, chill overnight. This will thicken the lasagna, making it easier to cut into slices. If making a day ahead, don't add crushed cookies to top until ready to serve.
