A festive no-bake holiday dessert, Candy Cane Lush is a blissful dessert with a peppermint layer, a creamy vanilla layer, and a fluffy whipped cream topping.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Family Size package of Golden Oreos ((around 540g))
¾ cup unsalted butter melted
1 package cream cheese, softened (8-ounce)
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups Cool Whip
¾ cup crushed peppermint candy canes ((easiest way to crush is to use a food processor))
2 3/4 cups cold milk
2 boxes Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
Remaining Cool Whip

Steps:

  • Prepare a 13" x 9" baking dish by lining with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Use a food processor to turn the Golden Oreos into crumbs. Mix these crumbs with melted butter then press into the 13" x 9" baking dish. Put this crust in the freezer while you prepare the next layer.
  • In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese. Then add the white sugar, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip and mix until combined. Make certain not to over mix the cream cheese layer.
  • Stir in ½ cup of the crushed candy canes. You don't want to over mix or beat this in as it will turn this layer pink - unless you like pink desserts! Set aside the remaining ¼ cup of crushed candy canes for the topping.
  • Use a spatula to smooth this layer over the prepared crust. Pop the baking dish back into the freezer while you prepare the next layer.
  • Beat dry pudding mix and milk until the mixture starts to thicken (about 2 minutes). Use a spatula to evenly smooth this layer over top of the cream cheese candy cane layer.
  • Pop back into the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Smooth remaining Cool Whip over the top of the dessert and sprinkle with remaining candy canes.
