Servings: persons

2 cups Prepared Lemon Pie Filling
2 cups Prepared Vanilla Pudding
1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
4 Tablespoons Sugar, Divided
4 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
1 cup Oreo Crumbs
1 block Cream Cheese (8 Oz. Block, Softened)
2 teaspoons Vanilla
3 cups Whipping Cream
1-1/2 cup Icing Sugar
1 cup Fresh Raspberries Or Strawberries
12 1 Cup Capacity Jam Jars For Serving

1
Prepare your choice of lemon pie filling and vanilla pudding. I like Sheriff brand lemon pie filling and Jello brand vanilla pudding (both of these require cooking; they aren't the no-cook type). Cool the cooked puddings to room temperature. You could use instant pudding in a pinch.
2
In a small prep bowl, stir the graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter. In another small bowl, stir the Oreo crumbs with the remaining sugar and butter.
3
Prepare the cream cheese filling. Beat the cream cheese until creamy then add vanilla.
4
In a medium sized bowl using a mixer whip the cream until stiff then add icing sugar and beat until just combined. Whisk half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Set aside remaining whipped cream for topping.
5
Divide the Oreo crumbs into 6 small jars, reserving just a teaspoon for sprinkling on top later if you wish.
6
Divide the cream cheese filling into the 12 jars. Next, divide the 2 cups vanilla pudding into the 6 Oreo jars. Divide the 2 cups lemon pudding into the remaining 6 jars. Spoon the graham crumb mixture on top of the lemon pudding, reserving just a teaspoon for sprinkling on top later if you wish.
7
Top all the jars with the whipped cream, and add a light sprinkle of crumbs if you wish.
8
Top each jar with 3 fresh raspberries or a sliced fresh strawberry.
9
Refrigerate for 2-6 hours.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
