More is always better. After all, who ever asks for less? “Less Cool Whip on my dessert please!” “Yes sir, can I have less?” (I hope those quotes sound as ridiculous when spoken out loud as they were to write.) What I’m trying to say is that, given the choice to eat more dessert, I take it. That’s part of the reason why I love layered desserts. They always give me more without me even asking.
With layered desserts, there’s always more to a single bite, whether it be more ingredients (like the different layers in a dessert lasagna recipe) or just more of the same ingredients (like layers in a cake). Plus, layered desserts aren’t flat, neither in structure nor in flavor. There are always new flavor depths to explore in a layered dessert. No bite is ever the same, which makes eating dessert lasagnas and layer cakes so delightful.
I have never, in my entire life, turned down offers or recipes for layered desserts and I’m not about to start now. Are you? If you’re up to the challenge, check out these bad boys. These dessert lasagna recipes and other layered desserts are so wonderfully creamy and decadent, you won’t know what to do with yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😉

I love the layout of one page with a bunch of categorized desserts!
Do these recipes work as well with whipped cream instead of cool whip?
Hi Mary, While I love whipped cream, I don’t think these recipes would work as well with it instead of using Cool Whip. The Cool Whip is a bit more stable and holds up well while whipped cream is a lot lighter. I’m sure the desserts would still taste good, but the layers wouldn’t be as sturdy. I hope that answers your question!
I don’t think a dessert can ever have too many layers, unless those layers include beef sauteed with peas and onions (any other Friends fans out there?). My favorite desserts include peanut butter and chocolate and Reese’s is my favorite candy, so the OMG Creamy Peanut Butter Bars sound like absolute heaven to me. This is a pretty simple two layers, but one way I like to make brownies more interesting is by adding a layer of candy in the middle–usually Reese’s for me, but Kit Kats are also very good.
