Ingredients
Filling
- 3.4 oz lemon instant pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups Cool Whip (divided)
Crust
- 1 Oreo pie crust (pre-made)
Toppings
- 6 Oreo cookies
- 6 Lemon Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Make the lemon pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon instant pudding mix and milk until the mixture thickens. This ensures the pudding sets properly and becomes creamy.
- Combine with Cool Whip: Add one cup of Cool Whip to the thickened pudding and gently fold it using a rubber spatula until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Fill the pie crust: Pour the pudding and Cool Whip mixture into the Oreo pie crust, smoothing it out evenly with the spatula to form a smooth layer.
- Top with Cool Whip: Spread the remaining one cup of Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer, adding an extra creamy topping to the pie.
- Crush the cookies: Place the Oreo cookies into a small Ziploc bag and crush them using a heavy-bottomed pot until they are broken into small pieces. Repeat this process with the Lemon Oreo cookies.
- Decorate the pie: Sprinkle all the crushed Oreo and Lemon Oreo cookie pieces evenly over the top of the pie.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy your refreshing No Bake Lemon Oreo Pie!
Notes
- The pie needs to chill for at least 2 hours but can be refrigerated longer for a firmer texture.
- Use cold milk to help the pudding mix thicken faster.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- For extra lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the pudding mixture.
- This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days for best freshness.
