Lemon Lasagna Recipe
Description
Lemon Lasagna begins with a crust made from finely crushed lemon or golden Oreos mixed with melted butter, pressed into a baking dish to form a firm base. The first filling layer is a blend of cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and half of the whipped topping, creating a smooth and creamy consistency.
Next, a lemon instant pudding mixed with milk is poured over the cream cheese layer, setting a tangy and thick lemon-flavored middle. The dessert is then topped with the remaining whipped topping for lightness and chill time to allow the layers to set well.
The finished dish is served chilled and garnished with lemon slices to enhance the citrus flavor. Its cool, creamy layers contrast with the crunchy cookie crust, making it a refreshing option for dessert after a meal.
Make-ahead notes indicate the dessert can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated until serving. Variations include swapping pudding flavors or cookie types to customize the taste profile.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (14.3-ounce) package Oreos lemon or golden; about 36 cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
Filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 (16-ounce) tub Whipped Cream divided, or whipped topping (homemade or store-bought
- 2 (3.4-ounce) boxes lemon instant pudding
- 3 cups milk
- lemon for garnish, slices
Instructions
- Crush Oreos in a food processor to a very fine texture. Place crushed Oreos in a large resealable plastic bag and add melted butter. Shake to mix until well combined.
- Press buttered crumbs into the bottom of a 9-x-13-inch baking dish, making sure to cover the entire bottom.
- In a medium bowl, blend powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and half of the whipped topping with a hand mixer. Blend well and pour over crust.
- In another bowl, combine instant pudding and milk. Whisk together until pudding thickens, then pour over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes.
- Top off with the remaining whipped topping and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Add lemon slices for garnish.
Notes
- You can prepare this dessert up to 24 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate until serving.
- Try different pudding flavors and cookie bases, such as chocolate pudding with chocolate Oreos or pistachio pudding with shortbread cookies, to vary the flavor.
- Garnish with lemon slices for a fresh citrus accent.
