Ingredients
Crust
- 36 regular Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold milk
- 6 ounces Cool Whip, plus extra for topping
Pudding Layer
- 2 packages dry chocolate instant pudding mix
- 3 ¼ cups cold milk
Topping
- Chocolate shavings
- Crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Pulse the Oreo cookies in a blender or food processor until they turn into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted butter until all are evenly moistened. Press this Oreo mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a solid crust. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for about 5 minutes to set.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and cold milk, mixing until fully combined. Gently fold in 6 ounces of Cool Whip, maintaining a light and creamy consistency. Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return the dish to the fridge or freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to let the layer set.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the two packages of dry chocolate instant pudding mix with 3 ¼ cups of cold milk until the mixture thickens, approximately 2 minutes. Carefully spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. Chill again for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the pudding to set.
- Add the Topping: Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer. Decorate the top with chocolate shavings and crushed Oreo pieces to add texture and enhance the dessert’s appearance. Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 2 to 3 hours to ensure all layers set properly and flavors meld.
- Serve: Once sufficiently chilled and set, slice into portions and serve this rich, layered no-bake chocolate lasagna. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a 9×13-inch dish for best layering and set.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cream cheese layer.
- Press the crust mixture firmly to prevent it from crumbling when slicing.
- Chilling times are important to help each layer set before adding the next.
- For best flavor and texture, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
