Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 Golden Oreos finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp butter melted
For the cream cheese layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping
For the pudding layer
  • 2 box lemon or vanilla instant pudding 3.4 oz each
  • 3 cup cold milk
For the topping
  • 2 cup whipped topping
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the crust
  1. Mix finely crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter until the texture looks like wet sand, then press into the bottom of a 9x13 dish with firm, even pressure. Refrigerate for 20 minutes so the crust firms up.
Layer the cream cheese
  1. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold in 1 cup whipped topping until combined. Spread the mixture over the chilled crust in an even layer.
Add the pudding layer
  1. Whisk lemon or vanilla instant pudding with cold milk for 2 minutes until noticeably thickened. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer and smooth the top.
Top with whipped cream and berries
  1. Spread 2 cups whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer to fully cover the surface. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in rows or a scattered pattern across the top.
Chill and serve
  1. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until all layers are set and slice cleanly. Slice into rectangles and serve cold.

Notes

Pro tip: for the cleanest slices, keep the lasagna covered and chill until fully set, then use a sharp knife wiped between cuts. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freeze is not recommended because fresh berries can weep and the whipped layers may soften. For a lighter option, substitute whipped topping with a lighter whipped topping-style product if available.
