Tips to make Red Velvet Cheesecake Layered Dessert

This red velvet and cream cheese layered dessert recipe is really very easy to make!

(For base) add milk only a little at a time or the mixture will be too runny.

Mix the dry ingredients well before adding in the wet so you don’t have chunks of flour or cocoa.

Use softened cream cheese so everything mixes well in the cheesecake layer of this red velvet delight.

Beat the cream cheese well before adding yogurt.
You really want to do this step so the cream turns out light and fluffy.

Let lasagna chill in fridge 1-2 hours before eating so it can set.
