Description

A festive, no-fuss layered dessert with brownie base, cream cheese mousse, golden cookie crumble, and whipped topping. This Christmas Cookie Lasagna is cold, creamy, crunchy, and perfectly merry for your holiday table.


Ingredients

1 box brownie mix (such as Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate)

2 large eggs (for brownie mix)

0.5 cup vegetable oil (for brownie mix)

2 tablespoons water (for brownie mix)

8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

0.5 teaspoon almond extract

8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

12 golden sandwich cookies, crushed

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

8 ounces whipped topping (for final layer)

0.5 cup red and green M&Ms

1 tablespoon red nonpareils


Instructions

1. Prepare brownie mix according to box directions using eggs, oil, and water. Bake in a 9×13 glass or ceramic pan. Let cool completely.

2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and almond extract.

3. Fold in thawed Cool Whip until mixture is light and fluffy. Spread evenly over cooled brownie base.

4. In a small bowl, combine crushed golden cookies, melted butter, and brown sugar. Sprinkle over the cream cheese layer and gently press.

5. Pipe or spoon remaining whipped topping over the crumble layer.

6. Decorate with M&Ms and red nonpareils.

7. Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

8. Slice with a hot, clean knife for neat layers.

9. Serve chilled.

Notes

Chill overnight for best texture and clean slices.

Use a glass or ceramic dish to prevent overbaking.

For a crunchier top, use peanut M&Ms instead of plain.
