Can I freeze this No Bake Halloween 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. Sometimes you can even find Halloween Oreos and those would be perfect.

Ingredients used

  • 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.
  • Orange Gelatin – This gives that it’s Halloween orange color.
  • Vanilla Instant Pudding & Pie Filling Mix –  This helps set the orange layer.
  • Milk – I use whole milk but you can use the milk you like to drink.
  • Cream Cheese – This creates the creamy cheesecake layer.
  • Powdered Sugar –  Adds sweetness to the cream cheese layer.
  • Whipped Topping – Gets blended into the cheesecake layer and the top of the cake.
  • Food Coloring –  I used neon orange and green.
  • Sprinkles –  Any Halloween sprinkles will work, I used these HALLOWEEN SPRINKLES from Amazon.
