Notes

This no-bake cookie lasagna is a family favorite that’s perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy weekends at home. For best results, let it chill overnight to fully set and develop that rich, layered flavor.
Tips:
  • You can substitute Oreo cookies with peanut butter or vanilla sandwich cookies for a flavor twist.
  • Light whipped topping or low-fat cream cheese can be used for a slightly lighter version.
  • Make it ahead! It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, covered tightly.
This dessert is kid-friendly and a great no-bake option for warm seasons when you don’t want to turn on the oven. It’s also an ideal make-ahead treat for feeding a crowd.
