This No Bake Red White Blue Lush is our favorite summer dessert!! It’s no bake which is always great in the summer.  You layer a delicious cookie crust with a creamy white layer then you top it with a red cherry layer and a blue raspberry layer before it gets topped with whipped cream and festive sprinkles.  This one is always a crowd-pleasing show-stopper!

There is nothing better in the summer than an easy No Bake Dessert that I can just whip together and that everyone will love and this red, white, blue lush is perfect. 

There are a ton of cookouts, and bbqs, parties, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day all sorts of events in the summer that you might need an impressive and festive dessert for. 

Of course who wants to turn on the oven in the summer which is why I love no bake desserts.

My favorite part is that this comes together so quick and is always impressive.  This is going to be your go to dessert all summer long! You could use different color jello to suit whatever event you are going to.  This red, white blue combo is perfect for all the patriotic holidays this summer. 

This fabulous cake starts with a simple cookie crust, a creamy cream cheese layer, a cherry layer and a blue raspberry layer before getting topped with whipped cream and sprinkles.

This is a great dessert for the summer because it is cool, creamy and refreshing. I like that I can make it the night before and have a stunning dessert for any bbq, cookout or potluck this summer. This dessert lasagna is perfect for all your summer celebrations.

I always want to bring the best dessert to every gathering and this one has always impressed.  It just looks so gorgeous with it’s layers and everyone always loves anything with a cherry and sprinkles on top.

Can I freeze this No Bake Red White Blue Lush?

Lush cakes freeze beautifully. Just wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.  Let them thaw an hour before serving. 

What else can I top this with?

I like to top this with sprinkles but it would also be so cute with blueberries and strawberries or cherries on top.

Can I use other cookies for the crust?

Yes!  You can use crushed-up vanilla wafers or oreo cookies, just keep the same amount. 

 

Ingredients used

• Vanilla Oreo Cookies – You can also use vanilla wafers or graham crackers for a graham cracker crust.
• Butter – Every good dessert starts with butter and this helps bind the crust.
• Cherry Jello – You can also use raspberry or strawberry jello.
• Blue Raspberry Jello – This is for the blue layer.
• Vanilla Instant Pudding – This add the creaminess to this dish.
• Milk- I like to use whole milk but you can use whatever milk you drink. 
• Cream Cheese – Make sure this is softened, it makes mixing so much easier.
• Powdered Sugar – This helps sweetened things up.
• Whipped Topping – Such as cool whip. This is top layer and the white in this red, white, blue dessert.
• Red, White, Blue Sprinkles for Garnish – You can find these in any store or online around the summer.

• This looks stunning in a clear glass dish.
• You can pop this in the fridge between layers so make double sure they dont get mixed together but as long as you are careful they should not.
