My chocolate lasagna is a rich and flavorful dessert that’s loaded with layers of chocolate and cream. It can easily be made in advance and also freezes well. Enjoy it plain or with an additional topping of whipped cream or chocolate Cool Whip!
36Oreo cookies plus more for garnishbuy the family size pack
6tablespoonsunsalted buttermelted
8ouncescream cheese
1/4cupsugar
16ouncesCool Whipdivided
23.9 ounces pkgsinstant chocolate pudding mix
3 1/4cupcold milk
Instructions
In a food processor, crumble all of the Oreo cookies. Move them to a bowl and combine them with the melted butter. Use the back of the spoon to scoop and press the Oreos into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Set it into the freezer.
Using a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and silky. Use a spatula to fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip.
Take the 9x13 pan out and dollop the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust. Use the spatula to spread it over the bottom layer. Put it back into the freezer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and the remaining milk until it has thickened.
Take the pan back out of the freezer and dollop the chocolate pudding on top of the cream cheese layer. Use the spatula to spread it over the second layer. Place it back into the freezer for 30 minutes.
Layer the rest of the Cool Whip on top, then place it into the fridge for 4 hours - overnight. Garnish it with additional Oreo cookie crumbs right before serving!
Notes
Only use regular Oreos, not Double Stuf! The extra filling in Double Stuf cookies will completely throw off the texture of the crust.
An offset spatula is my favorite tool for spreading the ingredients. It helps easily smooth out each new layer without messing up anything below it.
Be sure to let each layer set before adding the next one. Allowing time to set and chill will ensure that the layers don’t bleed together.
For clean and easy slicing, place the dessert in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.
Store leftovers covered tightly or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
