Ingredients used for this Orange Creamsicle Lush

• Vanilla Oreo Cookies – You can use vanilla wafers for a vanilla wafer crust 
  or graham cracker crumbs too.
• Butter – This helps bind the cookie crust.
• Orange Gelatin – This is where this dessert gets its orange flavor. You need it for the orange jello layer.
• Vanilla Instant Pudding & Pie Filling Mix – This mixes with the jello to get that creamsicle flavor. You need this for the layers of creamy vanilla pudding.
• Milk – To make the pudding, but do not use the amount of milk on the pudding box, use what is in the recipe below.
• Cream Cheese – At room temperature to make the creamy layer.
• Powdered Sugar – Adds sweetness.
• Whipped Topping – Like cool whip for that final layer.
• Garnish – I like to garnish with mandarin oranges and mint leaves.
