This Easy Christmas Cookie Lasagna is a festive, no-bake layered dessert featuring a cookie crust, creamy cheesecake layer, smooth vanilla pudding with crushed cookies, and a whipped topping finish. Perfect for holiday gatherings, it combines sweet, creamy, and crunchy textures with a holiday twist.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Crust:

  • 24 Christmas sugar cookies (or shortbread cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream or whipped topping

For the Pudding Layer:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz / 96g) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) cold milk
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional for festive flavor)
  • ½ cup crushed Christmas cookies

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups whipped topping
  • Crushed Christmas cookies, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Crust: Crush the Christmas cookies into fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and silky. Fold in the whipped topping or whipped cream. Spread the mixture over the chilled cookie crust.
  3. Make the Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mix, cold milk, and almond extract. Whisk for 1–2 minutes until thickened. Stir in the crushed Christmas cookies. Spread evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  4. Add the Whipped Topping: Smooth the whipped topping over the pudding layer. Add sprinkles, crushed cookies, or chocolate chips for decoration.
  5. Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for perfect, firm layers. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use cold milk for thick pudding that holds its shape.
  • Soften cream cheese fully to avoid lumps in the cheesecake layer.
  • For a peppermint twist, swap almond extract with peppermint extract.
  • For more color, use red and green sugar cookies or holiday Oreos.
  • Chill overnight for the cleanest slices.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
