🍓 Ingredients you will need to make Strawberry Lasagna

For the crust:

Lorna Dune Cookies – The base of this Strawberry Lasagna is a Lorna Dune Cookie Crumble Crust. If you aren’t familiar with Lorna Dune cookies, they are light and delicious shortbread cookies. You’ll need about 36 cookies that get processed and smashed into a fine crumb using a food processor or something like a rolling pin. Those crumbs combined with butter will form the crust for this dessert lasagna.

Butter – Melted butter will be combined with the cookie crumbs to make the crust. You will need 6 tablespoons butter – melted. Salted or unsalted is fine. I like to melt butter in the microwave. In my microwave it takes around 45-60 seconds to melt 6 tablespoons butter.

For the strawberry cheesecake layer:

Cream Cheese – you will need one 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened

Cool whip – You will need one cup of Cool Whip (more later for another layer!

Strawberry Pie Filling – You will need 1/2 cup Strawberry Pie Filling (more later for the top!)

Sugar – 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the pudding layer:

Vanilla Pudding – you will need 1 box of Vanilla Instant Pudding – the 3.4 ounce size

Milk – 2 cups of cold milk to make the pudding layer

For the Cool Whip layer:

You will need 2 cups of Cool Whip to spread over the pudding layer.

For the Strawberry Layer:

Strawberry Pie Filling – you can make your own, or use 2 – 21 ounce cans of pre-made Strawberry Pie Filling. 1/2 cup of strawberry pie filling will be mixed together with the cream cheese layer and the remaining Strawberry Pie Filling will be spread on top.

⏲ How to make strawberry lasagna

For the crust: Prepare a 9×9 or 8×8 casserole dish with non-stick spray. In a large bowl combine Lorna Dune Cookie Crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter. Use a fork to incorporate the butter. Press the crust into the prepared pan

For the strawberry cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and mix. Stir in 1 cup of Cool Whip along with 1/2 cup Strawberry Pie Filling. Spread over the crust layer.

For the pudding layer: in a large bowl, combine a 3.4 ounce package Vanilla Pudding Mix (instant pudding) with 2 cups cold milk. Mix until pudding starts to thicken. Spread over the cheesecake layer.

For the Cool Whip Layer: evenly spread 2 cups of Cool Whip on top of the cheesecake layer.

For the Strawberry topping: Spread the remaining Strawberry Pie Filling on top of the Cool Whip topping.

Cover the Strawberry Cheesecake, then place in the freezer for 1 hour or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
