Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (9oz, 250g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (4oz, 115g)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (454g, 2 blocks)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (7oz, 195g)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 4 ounces whipped topping (113g, e.g., Cool Whip)
  • ⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles

Pudding Layer

  • 6.8 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix (2 x 3.4 oz boxes)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream (12 fl oz, 375ml)

Topping and Garnish

  • 4 oz whipped topping or freshly whipped cream (113g)
  • 23 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Lightly spray a 9×9 or 9×13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until slightly clumpy and damp, ensuring it sticks when pressed together. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate to chill while preparing the next layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Layer: Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and heavy cream on high speed until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping with a rubber spatula, then gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return the pan to the refrigerator to chill.
  3. Prepare the Pudding Layer: In a large bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with heavy cream until thickened and smooth. Spread the pudding layer evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  4. Add the Topping and Garnish: Spoon the whipped topping or freshly whipped cream over the pudding layer and smooth it out. Sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top for decoration.
  5. Chill to Set: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow layers to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy your colorful, creamy Funfetti Lush dessert.

Notes

  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For firmer layers, chill each layer for about 30 minutes before adding the next.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for best texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Rainbow sprinkles add festive color but can be omitted if preferred.
  • If using a 9×13 pan, the dessert will be slightly thinner than with a 9×9 pan.
