Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    What is a lush? A lush is a party-perfect “no-bake” dessert, which is also known as a dessert lasagna, layered dessert or ice-box cake. It’s defined by decadent layers of varying flavors and textures–think sugar cookies, banana pudding and Cool Whip. Usually, a lush is ...

  • tip 3
    This sounds like a lot of work. There are three to four bowls needed in order to make the dessert, so there are some dishes, but the payoff is a delicious dessert that is perfect for potlucks.
  • tip 4
    Soften the cream cheese before mixing, so it blends well, and there are no lumps. To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper and place on microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.

  • tip 7

    The coarsely crushed OREO® Cookies used as a garnish can simply be crushed by hand or roughly chopped.
  • tip 8
    Don’t skimp on the four hours of refrigeration time needed. Lushes cut the best when super cold.

    Can I make this ahead? Yes, this dessert can be made the day before. Add your coarsely crushed OREO® Cookies garnish right before serving for the best taste–they add a little crunch–and the prettiest presentation.
