This easy, no-bake Christmas Cookie Lasagna is a festive layered dessert featuring spiced cookies, creamy cheesecake filling, pudding, and whipped cream, all topped with sprinkles and crushed candy canes. It’s perfect for holiday gatherings and can be made ahead for stress-free entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 oz spiced cookies (such as Biscoff, gingersnaps, or speculoos)
  • 9 oz vanilla sandwich cookies (like Golden Oreos or vanilla wafers)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract (optional)
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk
  • Red or green food coloring (optional)
  • 2 cups whipped topping or homemade whipped cream
  • Christmas sprinkles
  • Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Place spiced cookies and vanilla sandwich cookies in separate zip-top bags and crush into small chunks. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth (2-3 minutes). Add powdered sugar and blend until creamy. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extract (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Add food coloring if desired.
  4. Layer half of the crushed spiced cookies in the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cookies. Sprinkle half of the crushed vanilla cookies over the cream cheese layer. Spread all of the pudding over the cookies.
  5. Repeat with remaining spiced cookies, then the rest of the cream cheese filling, and finish with the remaining vanilla cookies.
  6. Spread whipped topping or whipped cream evenly on top. Sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles and crushed candy canes.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best) until set.
  8. Slice into squares with a clean, sharp knife. Wipe the blade between cuts for tidy portions. Add extra sprinkles or candy cane pieces before serving if desired.

Notes

Let the lasagna chill fully for best texture—overnight is ideal. Use cold bowls and beaters for whipping cream. Alternate cookie types for best texture. Clean spatula between layers for neat presentation. Customize with different cookies, add fruit, or swap peppermint for other flavors. Gluten-free and dairy-free adaptations are possible.
