Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 36 pieces Golden Oreos crushed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
  • 13.4 ounce instant pudding mix choose from lemon, coconut, cheesecake, or vanilla
  • 1 cup nonfat milk
  • 12 ounces whipped topping
  • 1 cup lemon curd jarred or homemade

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Start by crushing the 36 Golden Oreos in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin. You want fine crumbs, so crush until they resemble sand. Combine the crumbs with 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Ensure that the crust is packed tightly and evenly. This will create a sturdy base for your Lemon Oreo Dessert.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix of your choice (lemon, coconut, cheesecake, or vanilla) with 1 cup of nonfat milk. Mix until the pudding thickens, which should take about 2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in 12 ounces of whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined. This will create a light, fluffy filling for your dessert.
  5. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the prepared Oreo crust in the baking dish. Then, add a layer of 1 cup of lemon curd on top of the pudding. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  6. Top the lemon curd layer with the remaining pudding mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the curd completely.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  8. Once chilled, slice into squares or serve in individual cups. Top with additional whipped topping or lemon zest for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your Lemon Oreo Dessert!
