Cupid’s Lasagna
Are you tired of Red Velvet recipes yet?
Here is one that is not real sweet and different from the rest.
This Cupid’s Lasagna is a vibrant Red brownie layer under a thin cream cheese filling.
Then to topping off the dessert is a layer of cheesecake pudding blended into a whipped cream mixture!
To make it festive, a layer of broken Red Cream Cheese Oreos sits a top the entire mix.
This light, creamy dessert is not sweet, but feel free to add more garnish if you wish!
You are going to love this treat!

This a such a fun recipe for a Valentine’s Day! I know my kids will love this dessert an I love anything with Oreos 🙂
I went through a “red” food period and really wanted to create a layered dessert in a rectangular pan. I never realized how hard it would be to make those layers look beautiful from the side!! I still. Think it tasted delicious. Enjoy! Have a good up and coming week.
Oh my…this dessert lasagna looks absolutely decadent! Anything that comes with oreos gets an A+ from me!
Thanks for visiting Liz! This recipe turned out so delicious that I am going to make it with all my favorite cakes! Have a great day and come again soon!
