Ingredients

Bags of Golden Oreos – Teddy Grahams or Animal Crackers would work too!
Lemon Meringue Pudding Snack Packs – these are perfect for that lemon meringue filling.
Whipping cream – we like to pack a can of whipping cream in the fridge for topping.

Three packs of Golden Oreo Mini cookies, a can of whipped cream, and a lemon meringue pudding cup on a wooden surface, each item labeled with white text boxes.

Instructions

Crush the Golden Oreos – Start by crushing the Golden Oreos right in their bags. You can break them into small pieces by hand, or use a rolling pin to crush them into a fine crumble. These will be your “crust,” so make sure they’re nice and crumbly!
Add the Lemon Meringue Pudding – Once your Oreos are crushed, spoon in a generous amount of lemon meringue pudding from the snack packs. The creamy, tangy pudding gives your Walking Lemon Meringue Pie its signature citrusy filling that’s sure to satisfy.
Top with Whipping Cream – Next, add a fluffy dollop of whipping cream on top of the pudding. The creamy topping adds just the right amount of sweetness and richness to balance out the tart lemon flavor.
Serve & Enjoy – Grab a spoon, and you’re ready to enjoy your Walking Lemon Meringue Pie! It’s the perfect, no-mess dessert that’s easy to take with you on any adventure.

Tips & Tricks

To avoid any spills, be sure to use a thicker, more durable snack bag. No one wants their delicious lemony dessert leaking everywhere!
To make your life even easier, crush the Golden Oreos before your trip and pack them in a resealable bag. When you’re ready to assemble, all you need to do is add the pudding and whipped cream!
For an extra burst of lemon flavor, sprinkle some lemon zest over the whipped cream. It adds a fresh, zesty finish that perfectly complements the rich pudding filling.
If you’re looking for a quicker option, canned whipping cream is a great substitute. Just keep it cool in your cooler until you’re ready to serve!
For an even more indulgent twist, drizzle some lemon syrup or lemon curd over the pudding before adding the whipped cream. It will give your Walking Lemon Meringue Pie an extra layer of lemony goodness!
If you can, chill the lemon meringue pudding before packing it for your camping trip. It’s not a must, but it helps make the dessert feel a little more refreshing when you’re ready to eat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade lemon meringue pudding instead of the snack packs?

Yes! If you prefer homemade pudding, you can definitely make your own lemon meringue pudding ahead of time. Just let it cool before packing it for your camping trip.

How can I keep the whipped cream from melting?

Can I make Walking Lemon Meringue Pie for a crowd?

Absolutely! This recipe is easily scalable. Just double or triple the ingredients depending on how many people you’re serving. You can pre-crush the Golden Oreos and pack the pudding and whipped cream separately for easy assembly when you’re ready to eat.
