Vanilla Lush

I love no bake desserts...especially the ones that have layers of whipped cream and pudding and a cookie or graham cracker crust.  I love all of them including the one they call Chocolate Lasagna, and Lemon Lush, or Strawberry Divine.  But I am a lover of vanilla and I could never find anything like a Vanilla Lush.  I decided to make one of my own.  I made it just like I wanted it, a cookie crust, vanilla pudding, whipped topping and white chocolate chips.  The perfect Vanilla dessert!

Vanilla Lush

    1 package (36 cookies) Golden Oreos, finely crushed

    6 tablespoons butter, melted

    1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

    ¼ cup sugar

    2 tablespoons cold milk

    1 (12 oz.) container of Cool Whip, divided

    2 (3.4 oz.) boxes instant vanilla pudding

    3 ¼ cups of whole milk, cold

    1 bag white chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine crushed cookies and melted butter and mix well until crumbs are moist. With your fingers, press the crumbs into an ungreased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and the sugar and mix well.  Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, fold in 1 and ¼ cups of the Cool Whip.  Using a spatula spread this mixture over the cookie crust.

 

Pour the cold milk in a medium sized bowl and add the two boxes of vanilla pudding. Using a wire whisk, whip the pudding mix until it starts to thicken.  Set aside and let the bowl of pudding rest for about five minutes so it can firm up a little more.  Then spread the pudding mixture on top of the Cool Whip/cream cheese mixture.

Finally, spread the remaining Cool Whip on top as your final layer.  Sprinkle with white chocolate chips and place into the freezer for an hour.  Store leftovers in the freezer or refrigerator depending on the texture you like.
