Lemon Lasagna
Lemon lasagna is a lip-smacking no-bake dessert with creamy layers of lemon pudding, sweet cream cheese, and whipped cream, on top of an Oreo cookie crust.
Ingredients
- 14.3 ounces golden Oreo cookies
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces Cool Whip, divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 lemon juice
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3.4 ounces instant lemon pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- lemons, for optional garnish
Instructions
For the Crust
- Place the whole golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Set aside one cup of crushed Oreos for the topping.
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed golden Oreos with ½ cup melted butter.
- Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
For the Cream Cheese Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, mix softened cream cheese, 8 ounces of Cool Whip, one cup powdered sugar, and lemon juice from 1 lemon until smooth.
- Spread evenly over cookie layer. Chill in the refrigerator.
For the Lemon Layer
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups milk with both instant pudding flavors until pudding thickens.
- Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer. Chill.
For the Topping
- Top with remaining Cool Whip.
- Chill for at least one hour before serving. Cover with remaining Oreo crumbs and lemon slices for garnish, if desired.

Notes
- The pudding will not set with dairy-free or lactose-free milk. Make sure you are using regular milk in this recipe.
- Transform this lasagna into a pie by making it in a pie dish. Follow the same steps to layer your pie (a deep dish pie tin is recommended). Since the pie dish will be a little smaller, don’t feel like you have to use all of the mixture for each layer.
- Be sure to add the whole Oreos to the food processor, filling included. This will help to keep your crust together.
- Chilling this dessert overnight will make it easier to cut and give it a thicker consistency. If you plan to make it a day ahead, add it to the fridge overnight and then top with the crushed cookies just before serving.
