Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 24 high-quality chocolate chip or gingerbread cookies
Cream Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces whipped topping (homemade or store-bought)
Toppings
- 1 cup chocolate chips or festive sprinkles (for decoration)
- 1 cup fruity layers (optional) – raspberries or cherries
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Select a 9×13 inch baking dish and arrange a single, even layer of the high-quality cookies at the bottom, creating the foundation for your dessert lasagna.
- Make the Cream Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping to combine, achieving a light and fluffy cream mixture.
- Assemble the Layers: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the cookie base. Add another layer of cookies on top, followed by the remaining cream mixture, spreading it smoothly to cover the cookies.
- Refrigerate: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chocolate chips, festive sprinkles, or crushed candy canes on top for a colorful and festive finish. Optionally, layer fresh raspberries or cherries inside the dessert for added fruity brightness.
Notes
- Use high-quality cookies for the best taste and texture.
- Ensure cream cheese is well softened to blend smoothly.
- The dessert needs time to set in the refrigerator for optimal layering and flavor fusion.
- Optional fruity layers like raspberries or cherries add freshness and a pop of color.
- This no-bake dessert is perfect for preparing a day ahead.
- For a festive touch, try crushed candy canes instead of sprinkles.
