Instructions

Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the Oreo crumbs into the bottom of a 9x13” baking dish.
Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla together in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer on high speed until smooth. Add 8 ounces whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture and mix on low, just until incorporated.
Use a spatula to gently spread the cream cheese mixture into an even layer over the Oreo crust.
Use a large bowl and beat the pudding mixture and half & half with a hand or stand mixer on high speed until the mixture thickens - about 1-2 minutes.
Use a spatula to gently spread the lemon pudding into an even layer over the cream cheese layer.
Cover and chill the prepared layers in the fridge for at least two hours or until the layers are set and firm.
When ready to serve add the final layer of 8-ounce whipped topping. Spread with it with a spatula in an even layer over the pudding layer. Cut into squares and garnish with lemon zest and/or slices if desired. Serve chilled.
