Must Love Chocolate!
It’s no secret that we love chocolate desserts! While white chocolate is our favorite, we will indulge in all varieties. It’s only natural that I create various versions of my wildly popular White Chocolate Lasagna.
This chocolate lasagna is a decadent layered cake with creamy pudding, Oreos, cream cheese and whipped topping – an utterly indulgent dessert for holidays or warm summer days!
Why we love it:
- Tastes as good as it looks. Chocolate cake recipes are a favorite, and this twist boasts lovely layers that create a perfect harmony of flavors and textures.
- No bake dessert. Keep your kitchen cool and savor this refreshing confection without using an oven – a perfect summer dessert!
- Make ahead. Mouth-watering layers whip up in minutes for a hassle-free dessert that is chilled in the fridge or can be frozen for later!
Ingredients
- Oreo cookies – Use regular chocolate Oreos, not Double Stuf. Do not remove the cream filling, crush the entire cookie until the desired texture is achieved.
- unsalted butter
- cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- whipped topping – use store-bought or make Whipped Cream
- instant chocolate pudding mix – Purchase the INSTANT mix otherwise the pudding layer will not set correctly.
- cold milk – whole milk will make it creamier, but 2% will also work
- chocolate bar – or mini chocolate chips
How to Make Chocolate Lasagna
- OREO CRUST. Pulse the Oreos in a food processor. Add the Oreo cookie crumbs to a Ziploc baggie with melted butter, and mix to combine.
- Press the crushed Oreos into the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
- CREAM CHEESE LAYER. In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese, margarine/butter, powdered sugar, and ½ of the Cool Whip. Pour the cream cheese mixture over your Oreo cookie crust.
- PUDDING LAYER. In another bowl, add the milk to the bowl along with the dry instant pudding. Whisk together until pudding thickens. Pour a chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes.
- CHILL. Top off with the rest of your Cool Whip. Add chocolate shavings. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Crushing oreos. The easiest way is to use a food processor. Pulse a few times for a chunkier bottom layer, or pulse longer for finer crumbs. Alternatively, place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- Clean slices. Place a large kitchen knife into a pan of hot water, wipe dry, and cut. Wipe the blade and rewarm the knife after each cut.
- Reduce the recipe. Cut the ingredients in half and use a 9×9 baking dish to make a smaller chocolate lasagna recipe.
- Make it festive. Add holiday sprinkles to coordinate with your holiday.
