Description
A bright, creamy no-bake dessert that combines zesty lemon with the crunchy goodness of Oreos for a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2–3 lemons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Oreo cookie crumbs, for garnish
- Lemon zest, for garnish
Instructions
- Use a food processor to finely crush the Oreos. If unavailable, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave in 10–15 second bursts or gently in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Combine crushed Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl, mix until evenly moistened. Press into a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish.
- Chill the crust for 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer.
- Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, beating on low until combined.
- Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the lemon cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the lemon cream filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Unmold the dessert, garnish with whipped cream, lemon slices, Oreo crumbs, and lemon zest before serving.
- Slice and serve chilled using a warm, clean knife.
Notes
For best texture, chill overnight. Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling, and avoid overwhipping the cream.
