What Kind of Cookies Should I Use?

This recipe works beautifully with a mix of textures. Chocolate sandwich cookies, speculoos, or gingersnaps all bring something fun to the flavor profile. You can even mix in candy cane chunks or seasonal M&Ms for extra crunch and color.

The magic of this dessert lies in the layering, and each component brings its own festive flair:

Brownie base – The rich, chocolatey foundation of this lasagna. You can use homemade brownies or a box mix that you bake and cool beforehand.
Cream cheese – Gives the cheesecake layer its signature tangy richness.
Whipped topping – Lightens the cheesecake mixture and forms the top layer.
Crushed cookies – Use a mix of holiday-themed cookies for texture and flavor.
Instant pudding mix – Helps the cheesecake layer set with a vanilla or white chocolate flavor.
Milk – To activate the pudding and help the filling firm up.
Red and green M&Ms – For that unmistakable Christmas sparkle.
Sprinkles – Totally optional but adds to the festive look!

Step 1: Prep the Brownie Base

Once baked and fully cooled, press your brownie layer into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill in the fridge while prepping the next layer.

Step 2: Mix the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add in the pudding mix and milk. Fold in whipped topping until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Layer the Cheesecake

Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie layer. Chill again to help it firm up.

Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed cookies over the cheesecake layer. You can lightly press them in to help them adhere.

Step 5: Decorate with Toppings

Top with more whipped topping, holiday sprinkles, and festive M&Ms. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before slicing.

This delightful dessert serves 12 to 15 people, making it perfect for holiday gatherings. Serve chilled straight from the dish with a sturdy spatula for clean layers. For storage, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. It actually tastes better the longer it chills!
