Layers of whipped cream, pistachio pudding, no bake cheesecake and a shortbread crust make up this delicious dessert lasagna.

no bake cheesecake and pistachio pudding dessert lasagna

Pistachio is one of my favorite flavors.  I love pistachio cookies, yogurt, ice cream, etc… But these bars are a simple, easy to make and taste great!  

I remember the first time I had these bars, I was 12 at a youth activity for my church!  A friend brought them and I fell in love, but forgot to get a recipe!  don’t you hate it when you do that! it haunts you.  It’s taken years to find the perfect one, but here it is!

I love the balance between the textures; the crust has a nice crispness, the no bake cheesecake layer is rich and creamy and of course the pudding is smooth!

Add some whipped cream on top and it’s perfection!  I also like to chop fresh pistachio’s OR grate some chocolate on top (everything is better with chocolate) but I barely had time to take these pictures before my family dug in…  Maybe next time!

Do you have a favorite treat from your youth that you have forgotten about? haven’t had in years? or have been searching for the recipe??? I love hearing what recipes everyone connects with and remembers with fondness.  

Sometimes I’ll make something I SWEAR I loved when I was younger and find that I don’t like it as an adult! I’m glad it wasn’t the case with this sweet dessert!

    This is such a fun and easy recipe to serve up to kids! (though adults don’t say no either) Reminds me of my own childhood- I would eat it into ever smaller squares but my sister would eat it into shapes.

      That is so funny, my mom used to make something similar, we would try to eat it one layer at a time but once we got older we realized it was much better all together haha. I am so glad you liked it!

    Love the shortbread crust. Nice change from graham cracker or regular pie crust.

      Thank you! I love adding a shortbread crust because it adds to the recipe without making it too sweet:)

    On the cheesecake layer, it states powdered sugar twice. Does that mean it should be a cup and a half?

      The first cup of powdered sugar is mixed with the cream cheese and powdered sugar. The 1/2 C is mixed with the whipping cream and vanilla in a separate bowl
