Christmas Lasagna - Vhira Virginia




Christmas Lasagna is whimsical layered dessert with buttery red velvet shortbread cookie crust, peppermint cheesecake layer, white chocolate pudding, whipped cream and mini marshmallows on top. I’m sure it will be a hit at your Christmas gathering, like this Christmas Cheesecake, too! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

However, you all know that I’m a little obsessed with my Lasagna desserts. And I’ve already made it in chocolate version, then came my Pumpkin lasagna and Key Lime Pie Lasagna, and the latest version was my White Chocolate Blueberry Lasagna I made this summer.
Today, I’m sharing with you my new favorite: Christmas Lasagna!!! But if you thought that I’m done with lasagna desserts, you’re wrong. Moreover, I still have so many interesting ideas on my mind, too.

  •     In a small bowl stir together flour, salt and cocoa powder.

  •     In large bowl beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add red food coloring and mix well ( I used 1 tablespoon food coloring to get intense red color). Turn you mixer on low speed and gradually add flour mixture. Mix until combine.

  •     Spread 1 ½ cup Cool whip over pudding layer and top with mini marshmallows and sprinkles. Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours until set.
