🍋🍪 Heavenly Lemon Oreo Dessert
Ingredients:
-
24 Oreo cookies (regular or golden)
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
-
2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
-
2 tbsp lemon zest (optional, for extra zing)
-
Fresh lemon slices or extra crushed Oreos, for garnish (optional)
🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
-
Crush the Oreos finely (using a food processor or by placing in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin).
-
Mix crushed Oreos with melted butter until well combined.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch (or similar size) pan to form a crust.
-
Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
-
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
-
Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping and lemon zest (if using) gently.
3. Assemble the Layers:
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
-
Spread the lemon curd over the cream cheese layer.
-
Top with the remaining 1 cup whipped topping, spreading smoothly.
4. Chill:
-
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to let the layers set and flavors meld.
5. Serve:
-
Garnish with fresh lemon slices, extra lemon zest, or crushed Oreos if desired.
-
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
✅ Tips:
-
For a tangier twist, add a splash of fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese layer.
-
Use golden Oreos for a brighter color and slightly different flavor.
-
Make lemon curd from scratch if you want an extra homemade touch!
