Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 14.3 ounces package of Oreo cookies (regular, not double stuffed)
- ½ cup melted margarine or butter
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Pudding Layer
- 5.1 ounces box instant vanilla pudding
- 5.1 ounces box instant chocolate pudding
- 3 cups milk (cold)
Top Layer
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (softened)
- Chocolate syrup
- Optional topping: Chocolate curls or your favorite chocolate candy (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 cup reserved crushed Oreo cookies for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Add whole Oreos to a food processor and pulse until the crumbles are even. Set aside one cup of the crushed Oreos for the topping. Mix the remaining crushed Oreos with ½ cup melted margarine. Pat this mixture onto the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill and set for about 10-20 minutes.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a bowl, mix together 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 8 ounces softened Cool Whip, and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for another 10-20 minutes.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: Combine 1 package of instant vanilla pudding and 1 package of instant chocolate pudding with 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk until thickened. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Add the Top Layer: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup crushed Oreos evenly over the top. Drizzle chocolate syrup lightly across the entire dessert. Garnish with chocolate curls or your favorite chopped chocolate candy if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve, about 30 minutes or longer.
Notes
- Let each layer chill for 10-20 minutes in the refrigerator to achieve distinct, firm layers that resemble lasagna.
- If you don't have a food processor for crushing Oreos, place them in a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush to your desired texture.
- Try adding mix-ins like M&M’s or nuts to the cream cheese layer for added texture and flavor.
- Store leftover chocolate lasagna covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for 2-3 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
