LEMON LASAGNA INGREDIENTS

You will need:

• 1 package (14.3 ounces) golden Oreo cookies
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 16-ounce container cool whip, divided
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• Lemon juice from 1 lemon
• 1 package (3.4-ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 package (3.4-ounce) instant lemon pudding mix
• 3 cups milk
• Optional: lemons for garnish

Pro Tip: The pudding will not set with dairy-free or lactose-free milk. Make sure you are using regular milk in this recipe.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

Lemon pudding layer: Lemon pudding is an easy way to make this layer, but you could also use lemon pie filling or lemon curd. You can substitute either of these for a tart, more lemony flavor. Adding lemon zest to your pudding layer or sprinkled on top of the dessert is a delicious way to add some extra, bright lemon flavor.

Crust: If you can’t find golden Oreos, you can use a graham cracker crust instead. Substitute 9 crackers (1 sleeve) of graham crackers.

Topping: There are so many tasty options here! Top this dessert with your favorites, such as chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, toasted coconut, or shaved white chocolate.

Whipped Topping: If you would prefer to make your own whipped cream instead of using Cool Whip, check out our whipped cream recipe.

HOW TO MAKE THIS LEMON LASAGNA RECIPE

PRO TIP: 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.

For the Crust

STEP ONE: In a food processor, pulse the golden Oreos until fine crumbs are formed. Set aside 1 cup of crushed Oreos to use as a topping later. 

PRO TIP: Be sure to add the whole Oreos to the food processor, filling included. This will help to keep your crust together.

STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with ½ cup of melted butter.

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

For the Cream Cheese Layer

STEP FOUR: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, 8 ounces of Cool Whip, one cup of powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.

STEP FIVE: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the crust. Chill in the refrigerator.

For the Lemon Layer

STEP SIX: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of milk with both of the instant pudding flavors. Mix until the pudding thickens.

STEP SEVEN: Spread the pudding layer over the cream cheese layer. Chill in the refrigerator.

For the Topping

STEP EIGHT: Top with the remaining Cool Whip.

STEP NINE: Chill for at least one hour before serving, or overnight if possible. Before serving, top with the remaining Oreo crumbs and sliced lemons for garnish, if desired.

PRO TIP: 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.

HOW TO SERVE

Serve this luscious dessert treat for a quick and easy no-bake option anytime you are craving something sweet and tangy. Add our iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea on the side to wash it down.
