When asked recently by a friend for my Dirt Pudding recipe I thought about the cookies I had just bought--a lemon-flavored Oreo cookie. And that got me to thinking about making a lemon dirt pudding. Just change up the cookies and the pudding. I thought it might just be awesome! I made it today and it is more than awesome--my guests couldn't get enough! This is guaranteed to wow lemon lovers! 06-02-15

    In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  • 4
    Add the Cool Whip and the confectioners' sugar.

    NOTE: I used an electric mixer to mix the ingredients as I added them. It made the dessert smooth as silk! If you like extra lemon flavor, you may use two boxes of lemon pudding instead of one lemon and one vanilla.
