Instructions
How to Make Christmas Cookie Lasagna
In a mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter until well mixed. You want a sandy texture that holds together when pressed—about 2 cups of cookie crumbs should do the trick!
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream gently for a light, airy mixture.
Start with half of the cookie crust in a large dish, spreading it evenly. Next, layer half of the cream cheese filling over the crust, then add a layer of pudding for extra richness. Repeat this layering for a second time.
Spread the whipped topping over the final layer and decorate it with crushed holiday cookies or sprinkles.
Place the dessert in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours.
Notes
Chill properly for best texture. Customize layers with various cookies for unique flavors.
