Can I freeze this No Bake Candy Corn 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. 

Can I use other cookies for the crust?

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

INGREDIENTS USED

  • Vanilla Oreo Cookies – You can also use vanilla wafers if you like. 
  • Butter –  This helps the crust bind, you can use salted or unsalted, either is fine.
  • Cream cheese –  You want to make sure this is softened so mixing is easier.
  • Powdered sugar – Don’t substitute this for regular sugar it will not incorporate the same.
  •  Whipped topping – You do need 2 of these containers, one for the cream cheese layer and one for topping.
  • Vanilla instant pudding mix – Feel free to switch this up and use cheesecake flavor or white chocolate flavor.
  • Milk – Any milk your family drinks will work here.
  • Yellow and orange food coloring –  I suggest gel food colorings for this recipe.
