  4. Assemble Dessert: Gently spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. Next, spread the prepared lemon pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Finally, spread the remaining container of Cool Whip over the top.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the Cool Whip layer.
  6. Chill and Serve: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Once chilled, cut into squares and enjoy!
