Homemade Lemon Lasagna: Easy and Oh-So-Good

 

Lemon Lasagna is a fun and zesty dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's layered with creamy, lemony goodness and has a deliciously crunchy Golden Oreo crust. Here's a step-by-step guide to making this delightful dessert.

Ingredients:

- 1 package of Golden Oreos (about 36 cookies)

- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1 cup powdered sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon lemon extract

- 16 oz Cool Whip, divided

- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) of instant lemon pudding mix

- 1 cup milk

- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

   - Crush the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.

   - In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

   - Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layers.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Layer:

   - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

   - Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and smooth.

   - Fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip gently until the mixture is creamy and well blended.

   - Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.

3. Prepare the Lemon Pudding Layer:

   - In another large bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix, milk, and heavy cream until the mixture is thick and smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

   - Spread the lemon pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.

4. Top with Cool Whip:

   - Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the lemon pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula to create an even layer.

5. Chill and Serve:

   - Refrigerate the Lemon Lasagna for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.

   - Just before serving, you can garnish with lemon zest, lemon slices, or additional crushed Golden Oreos if desired.

Enjoy!

Serve this refreshing Lemon Lasagna chilled and enjoy the layers of lemony, creamy, and crunchy goodness. It's a perfect dessert for hot summer days or whenever you're craving a citrusy treat.
