Description
This No Bake Christmas Cookie Lush is a festive, creamy, and colorful holiday dessert made with layers of whipped topping, cheesecake pudding, crushed cookies, and plenty of sprinkles. Perfect for busy holiday baking days—no oven needed!
Ingredients
48 vanilla cookies, divided
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 package cream cheese (8 ounces), softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles, divided
2 tubs whipped topping (8 ounces each)
1 box cheesecake instant pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
2 cups cold milk
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper (optional).
Crush 36 cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and rolling pin.
Mix crumbs with melted butter and ½ tablespoon sprinkles. Press into the dish to form a crust.
Beat cream cheese, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in one tub of whipped topping and ½ tablespoon sprinkles.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Stir in ½ tablespoon sprinkles.
Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Top with remaining whipped topping.
Crush the remaining 12 cookies and sprinkle over the top. Add remaining sprinkles.
Chill for at least 4 hours (or freeze for firmer slices). Slice and serve.
Notes
For a firmer crust, add 1–2 extra cookies or 1 extra tablespoon of melted butter.
For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe between cuts.
Swap peppermint extract for vanilla if you prefer a milder flavor.
This dessert tastes even better the next day after fully chilling.
