No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Cookie Lasagna
Cherries, cheesecake and cookies combine together for a wonderful dessert lasagna. The no-bake directions make this perfect for summer barbecues when you don’t want to turn on the oven and heat up your house. This would even be a fabulous Christmas dessert since you can make it ahead of time and the colors are very festive. This would leave you free for the important tasks at hand on Christmas…wrapping last minute gifts. This dessert is also a show stopper because it looks beautiful when it is prepared. Be sure to use a clear loaf pan so you can see all of the layers. The beauty is definitely in the layers! Nilla wafers are the perfect choice of cookie in this dessert! I hope your family enjoys this dessert as much as mine did. Be prepared for everyone to ask you for the recipe. It is simple but delicious!
