A FUN DESSERT “LASAGNA”

When it comes to certain foods, I am still a 9 year old little girl. I love frosting spread on graham crackers. I like toast spread with margarine and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and Fruity Pebbles are still my favorite cereal. In fact, I even make Fruity Pebbles Treats that are always a hit with friends and family!

HOW TO MAKE FRUITY PEBBLES LASAGNA DESSERT:

For the first layer: Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Spray the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine flour, butter and Fruity Pebbles cereal.

Stir (or combine with your fingers) until a moist crumble forms.

Press crust mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Again, it’s easiest to use your hands here to press it down evenly and firmly.

Bake crust in 350F degree preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until very lightly golden brown. Allow crust to cool completely before moving on to the next step.

For the second layer: Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, mix together the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Then stir in half of the tub of whipped topping (you’ll save the other half for the final layer.)

Spread cream cheese filling on top of the cooled crust.
