Turtle Lasagna
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted sweet cream butter, softened
- 36 Oreos, crushed
- 6 tbsp salted sweet cream butter, melted and cooled
- 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups whole milk, cold
- 2 (3.4 oz) pkgs instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1½ tsp caramel flavoring
- 1 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped, divided
- 2½ cups turtle candies, chopped, divided
- *Chocolate syrup
- *Caramel sundae syrup
Instructions
- Use either a pastry brush or your hands to butter a 9×9” baking dish with the 2 tbsp of butter. Set it aside.
- Add the crushed cookies and the melted butter to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Press the buttered cookie mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the baking dish. Chill the cookie crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the cream cheese layer.
- Using either a stand mixer or a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese and vanilla for 1–1½ minutes until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and 1 cup of whipped topping. Continue mixing for another 1–1½ minutes until smooth.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese layer on top of the cookie crust, and return the baking dish to the refrigerator.
- Add the cold milk to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Sprinkle the pudding mixes and caramel flavoring over the cold milk. Use a handheld mixer on medium-low speed and mix just until the mixture begins to thicken (about 1 minute). Add 1 cup of the whipped topping and continue mixing until the pudding mixture thickens.
- Evenly sprinkle ½ cup of the chopped peanuts and 1 cup of the chopped turtle candies over the cream cheese layer. Drizzle 1–2 tbsp of the chocolate syrup and caramel syrup over the candy layer. Spread the pudding mixture over the candy layer.
- Cover and chill for 2 hours.
- Just before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chopped peanuts and the remaining 1½ cups of the chopped turtle candies over the whipped topping. Drizzle the chocolate syrup and caramel syrup over the candies.
Notes
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
