Ingredients

The ingredients for this Lemon delight are common and easy to find at any grocery store.

• Lemon OREOs
• Butter, melted (I use salted, but unsalted butter would work just as well)
• Cool Whip
• Package of Cheesecake Pudding Mix
• Milk – I use whole milk, but 2% would work as well
• Lemon Pie Filling
• Vanilla Frosting
• Lemon Slices

Substitutions

Lemon OREO Crust – If you want to cut the lemon flavor of the cookie crust, instead of the Lemon OREOs, you could use Golden OREOs for a Golden OREO crust. A graham cracker crust is another option but I recommend the cookies if possible!

Cheesecake Layer – I love, love, love the cheesecake pudding mix for a cream cheese layer but in a pinch, you could use other instant pudding flavors like instant white chocolate pudding or instant vanilla pudding.

Lemon Pie Filling ​- Instead of lemon pie filling, you could easily use lemon curd (homemade recipe here) or store-bought. Another option would be to double up on the instant pudding mix and use instant lemon pudding for a lemon pudding layer instead of lemon pie filling.

Vanilla Frosting –  For ease, I grabbed a can of store-bought frosting but you could easily make your own buttercream frosting or for a lighter finish, use canned whipped cream or use heavy whipping cream to make homemade whipped topping to decorate the top.

How to Make Lemon Lush Dessert

This is a no-bake dessert lasagna that you’re going to love. It’s an easy recipe to put together and always a crowd favorite.

1. Place OREOs (40 cookies) in a Ziploc bag. Using a rolling pin, roll the bag out until your OREOs are fine crumbs. I leave a corner open to prevent the bag from popping. You could also use a food processor if you have one!
2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
3. In the medium or large mixing bowl, mix your crumbled OREOs and melted butter together until you have a very fine mixture. Press the OREO crumbs into the bottom of a baking dish. I spray mine with cooking spray beforehand. 
4. Next, add your milk to your pudding mix, and whisk until well combined. Let stand for 5 minutes.
5. Add half of your Cool Whip to your pudding and mix well. Pour over the cookie mixture and smooth out evenly.
6. In a medium bowl, add together your lemon pie filling and remaining Cool Whip. Mix until well combined and pour over your pudding layer. Smooth out evenly. 
7. Place your container of frosting in your piping bag and pipe around the edges of your cake. 
8. Crumble up 15 OREOs, in the same manner as before, and top the center of your cake. 
9. Put two lemon slices in the center and refrigerate for 4 hours, until nice and cold, or place in the freezer for 1 hour. 
10. Serve and enjoy. The perfect dessert for all the lemon OREO lovers!
