I make this No Bake Christmas Cookie Lush when I want a fast, layered holiday dessert that looks festive but doesn’t touch the oven. You get a buttery cookie crust, a creamy cheesecake-style layer, fluffy pudding, and a cloud of whipped topping finished with caramel, nuts, and sprinkles.
Why You’ll Love This No Bake Christmas Cookie Lush
You’ll love how easily this lush comes together with pantry staples: cookies, cream cheese, instant pudding, and whipped topping. It’s completely no-bake, so you can make it while the oven is busy with Christmas cookies or ham. The layers slice into pretty squares that show off color, crunch, and creaminess—perfect for potlucks, dessert tables, and make-ahead entertaining.
This dessert is also very flexible: you can use Christmas cookies or Oreos, any pudding flavor, and even dairy-free substitutes for milk and whipped topping if you need it to fit different diets. Kids love the crushed cookies and sprinkles, while adults appreciate the light, mousse-like texture after a heavy holiday meal.
