Hi Everyone, this Red Velvet Lasagna Dessert Recipe has all the makings of a traditional lasagna or lush dessert with a "romantic" twist: red velvet.
Looking forward to Valentine's Day, I came up with this Red Velvet Lasagna to be the perfect "something red" for the holiday.
Honestly, I think anything red velvet-themed is appropriate to be served at any time of the year - just saying.
Who else thinks of Valentine's Day months ahead?
I'm a romantic at heart and if I had to choose a favorite holiday, V-day - as I like to call it - would be it because it's all about love.
I highly suggest using an offset spatula for spreading the cream cheese, pudding, and Cool Whip layers.
This enables you to get nice, even layers.
To get super-defined slices, I recommend freezing the dessert for 6 hours or overnight to get it solidly frozen.
Doing this makes it easier to handle since it is a pudding dessert.
Once you take it out of the freezer, it defrosts pretty quickly within a half hour.
I think it tastes best when cold/chilled versus room temperature.
I suggest topping this layered dessert with shaved or curled chocolate.
You can use a vegetable peeler to get little chocolate curls or a box grater to get shaved chocolate.
It goes really well with the chocolate pudding and really dresses up the dessert for serving.
You can also get creative by selecting some festive sprinkles to sprinkle on top, depending on the holiday or occasion that you are having this dessert.
For serving, I suggest using cherries in syrup like these wild dark cherries (shown in the photos) but you can also use strawberry/raspberry syrup to drizzle before serving if you prefer.
1st Layer – Bottom Graham Cracker Crust Layer
2nd Layer – Cream Cheese Layer
3rd Layer – Red Chocolate Pudding Layer
4th Layer – Whipped & Toppings Layer

This Red Velvet Lasagna Dessert Recipe is a layered, no-bake dessert recipe with a crunchy graham cracker crust, cream cheese layer, red chocolate pudding layer and topped with Cool Whip, chocolate shavings, and cherry syrup. This dessert has 4 delicious, velvety layers and uses a 9 x 13-inch pan, making the perfect dessert to bring to a gathering.
I suggest using an offset spatula for spreading the layers and making sure it’s clean before starting a new layer. After refrigerating, and serving to show more defined layers, you can just take a butter knife and “wipe” along the sides and the layers will show nicely. You can freeze the Red Velvet Lasagna overnight (at least 6 hours) to get more defined slices. Make sure you use a sharp knife to cut down into the bottom crust first before removing it with the spatula. It will defrost fairly quickly depending on the room temperature.
