Ingredients

  • 36 Oreo cookies pulsed to crumbs in the food processor, plus extra crushed oreos for topping- optional
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 16 ounces cool whip divided
  • 3 cups milk
  • 3 3 oz. boxes vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 tsp. mint extract
  • Green gel food coloring
  • Optional- whipped cream and maraschino cherries for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, fold together the crushed oreos and melted butter until well combined.
  • Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray, or line with parchment.
  • Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, and then move the pan onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, in a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together, until smooth.
  • Mix in 8 ounces of the cool whip, and mix until well combined.
  • Add this mixture to the baking dish by dropping by large spoonfuls, then carefully spread into an even layer.
  • For the green layer, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together instant pudding mixes and milk.
  • Add the mint extract, and green food coloring, and mix until well combined.
  • Add the cool whip, and mix again, until there are no streaks. Add more green food coloring, if needed, to get the perfect shade of mint green.
  • Add this over the white layer by dropping by large spoonfuls, and smooth out evenly.
  • Chill the lasagna dessert in the refrigerator, or freeze, 6 hours, or over night.
  • If freezing, set out about 45 minutes before serving.
  • Before serving, sprinkle the lasagna with crushed Oreos, and if desired, add whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for the perfect shamrock shake look.

Notes

    • Be sure to use room temperature cream cheese for easy blending.
    • Use fresh lime zest for the best citrus flavor.
    • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
