This dessert is one of a kind - with 5 layers, this lush offers incredible textures and flavors like nothing you’ve ever had before, making the dessert sinfully delicious. I know what you’re probably thinking though…“this has to be unbearably sweet and heavy”. In reality, this lush is not overly sweet at all - By adding a tangy cream cheese layer and using slightly bitter semi-sweet chocolate chips, you are able to enjoy the flavors of the dessert without being overwhelmed with sugar. The typical heaviness of cookie dough is eliminated by whipping the edible cookie dough layer into a light and fluffy, cloud-like texture, so you can keep on enjoying that delicious, addictive cookie dough flavor without feeling yucky!

5-layer desserts do seem daunting at first, but this lush was made so anyone can make it with ease. The base is a simple chocolate chip cookie and only baked element of the entire dessert, the cream cheese layer is only a few ingredients, the cookie dough layer whips up super fast, the chocolate pudding layer is just a Jell-o box chocolate pudding, and the top is just a layer of Cool Whip! It couldn’t get any easier in terms of a multi-layer dessert that will be sure to impress your friends and family.

Let the baking begin!
