Red Velvet Dessert Lasagna

A layered red velvet dessert with a baked cake base, creamy cheesecake layer with crushed peppermint, and a pudding layer topped with whipped topping and festive sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
  • 2 3/4 cups milk, divided
  • 16 ounces whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
  • 2 (3.4 ounce) boxes vanilla instant pudding mix
  • Green gel food coloring
  • Holiday colored sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 13×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, and egg until combined.
  3. Pour the red velvet cake batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth. Add 1/4 cup milk and mix well.
  5. Fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping and crushed peppermint candies.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled red velvet cake layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  7. Prepare pudding by mixing the vanilla instant pudding with 2 1/2 cups milk and green gel food coloring. Let set until thickened.
  8. Spread the pudding layer over the cream cheese layer.
  9. Top with remaining whipped topping and decorate with holiday sprinkles.
  10. Chill the assembled lasagna dessert for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use crushed peppermint candies for a festive holiday twist. Green gel food coloring in the pudding layer adds a vibrant contrast. Chill thoroughly to allow layers to set perfectly.
