  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Assembly and Chilling
  1. Spread half of the lemon cream mixture over the Oreo crust.
  2. Layer whole Lemon Oreo cookies on top, then finish with the remaining lemon cream mixture, smoothing it out.
  3. Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serving
  1. Slice the dessert into squares and garnish with optional Lemon Oreo cookies or lemon slices.
