Can I freeze this No Bake Butterfinger 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 chocolate wafers or even chocolate graham crackers, just keep the same amount. 

 

Ingredients used

• 30 chocolate sandwich cookies- I use Oreos for this but you could also use chocolate wafer cookies.
• Butter-  You need melted butter not just softened, you can use unsalted or salted for this recipe.
• Cream cheese-  This creates the creamy peanut butter layer.
• Peanut butter-  Creamy is best for this recipe but you can definitely use crunchy if you prefer.
• Powdered sugar-  Also referred to as confectioners sugar.  This sweetens the peanut butter up.
• Whipped topping-  Make sure to thaw this and divide it for this recipe.
• Instant chocolate pudding mix-  Make sure you get the instant pudding not the cook and serve.
• Milk-  I use whole milk but you can use the milk you like to drink.
• Mini Butterfingers-  Chop these up to sprinkle over the top of the lush
