Notes

To keep your Lemon Oreo Delight fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months; just be sure to wrap it tightly. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter. For best results, consider making this dessert a day ahead; the flavors meld beautifully overnight!
If you want to minimize cracks, use a water bath for baking.
