Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Make No-Bake Christmas Lasagna

Step 1: Make the Crust

Crush Golden Oreos in a food processor or with a rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Refrigerate while preparing the layers.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip until light and creamy. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.

Whisk pistachio pudding mix with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread over the cheesecake layer.

Step 4: Create the Red Layer

Tint Cool Whip with red food coloring, mixing until evenly colored. Gently spread over the pistachio layer.

Step 5: Chill and Decorate

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely. Before serving, decorate the top with peppermint pieces, sprinkles, or white chocolate curls.
