When it comes to desserts that are easy to make yet impressively delicious, No-Bake Turtle Lasagna Dessert is a top contender. This no-bake treat is an indulgent layered dessert made with chocolate, caramel, and nuts, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Perfect for family gatherings, parties, or even as a comforting treat after a pasta night, this dessert requires no baking—just assemble the layers and refrigerate.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of graham crackers (or your choice of no-bake crust)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 package of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or your favorite nuts)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Start by crushing the graham crackers into crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form a base.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture. Spread this creamy layer evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  3. Add the caramel and chocolate layers: Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cream cheese layer. Melt the chocolate chips and pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading evenly.
  4. Top with nuts: Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chocolate to add texture and flavor. Optionally, drizzle more caramel on top.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once set, cut into squares or serve with a spoon. The layers should come together beautifully for a rich dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make ahead: No-Bake Turtle Lasagna is ideal for making ahead. It tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
  • Nut alternatives: If you prefer, use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans, or skip the nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham crackers or any other gluten-free crust alternative to make this dessert gluten-free.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, covering it tightly to prevent it from absorbing odors.
