  • 3.25 cups Milk Any milk type works well, including non-dairy.
For the Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar Sweetens the cream cheese layer.

Preparation Steps
  1. Crush the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Reserve about ¾ cup for topping later. Mix remaining crumbs with melted salted butter and press into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine both packages of instant lemon pudding mix with 3 ¼ cups of milk and whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let pudding sit for 5 minutes in the refrigerator to set.
  3. Blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. Fold in one container of Cool Whip until fully incorporated.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust and then pour the chilled lemon pudding over it.
  5. Top with the second container of Cool Whip and spread evenly, then sprinkle reserved crushed Oreo crumbs on top.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
