Crush the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with the melted salted butter until well combined, creating a sandy texture that will form the crust.

Whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and 4 cups of milk in a large bowl. Beat until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 2 minutes.

Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a separate bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture gently until well combined.

Layer the dessert in a clear dish starting with the cookie crust, followed by the thick lemon pudding mixture, and finally topping it off with the fluffy Cool Whip mixture.

Refrigerate your Heavenly Lemon Oreo Dessert for at least 2 hours, allowing the layers to set.
