No-Bake Chocolate Lasagna Delight
A heavenly layered dessert featuring a crushed Oreo crust, a rich cream cheese filling, a decadent chocolate pudding layer, and a fluffy whipped topping. Perfect for any occasion and incredibly easy to make without turning on the oven!
Ingredients
- 36 cookies Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 12 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip) divided
- 3 cups cold milk
- 5.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the Crust: Finely crush the Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies) in a food processor or a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the next layers.
- For the Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups (half of a 12-ounce container) of whipped topping and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until just combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
- For the Pudding Layer: In another large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of cold milk and the 5.9-ounce package of instant chocolate pudding mix for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Pour and spread the pudding mixture gently over the cream cheese layer.
- For the Top Layer: Carefully spread the remaining 4 1/2 cups of whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer. Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set completely.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with extra crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles if desired.
Notes
For best results, allow the lasagna to chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure all layers are set. You can use different flavored Oreos (like golden or mint) or other chocolate cookies for the crust. Garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving. Leftovers store well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
