You’ll need:
- 1 (14.3-ounce) package of Oreo cookies (regular, not double stuffed)
- ½ cup of melted butter or margarine
- 8 ounces of cream cheese
- 16 ounces of Cool Whip, divided
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 (5.1-ounce) box of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 (5.1-ounce) box of instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups of milk
- chocolate syrup
- Optional topping: Chocolate curls or your favorite chocolate candy
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
PUDDING: Make sure you are using instant pudding mix in this dessert recipe rather than the kind that you have to cook.
TOPPING: There are plenty of ways to add even more fun toppings to your dessert lasagna. Try mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
COOL WHIP: If you prefer to make your own homemade whipped cream, we have a recipe here to help you.
How To Make This Chocolate Lasagna Recipe
First Layer
STEP ONE: Add the whole Oreos (cream centers included) to a food processor and pulse until the crumbles are even. Set aside one cup of crushed Oreos for the topping.
STEP TWO: Mix the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs with half a cup of melted butter or margarine.
STEP THREE: Press the cookie and butter mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Place pan in the refrigerator to chill.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
You could also make this in pie or parfait form if you wanted!
Second Layer
STEP ONE: With an electric mixer, mix eight ounces of cream cheese, eight ounces of Cool Whip, and one cup of powdered sugar together. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled chocolate cookie crust layer. Place back in the refrigerator to chill.
PRO TIP:
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in your creamy filling.
Third Layer
STEP ONE: Mix the packages of instant vanilla pudding and instant chocolate pudding together with three cups of cold milk. Spread on top of the cream cheese layer.
Fourth Layer
STEP ONE: Finally, spread 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the third layer.
STEP TWO: Sprinkle with remaining crumbled Oreos.
STEP THREE: Drizzle a light layer of chocolate syrup over the entire cake.
STEP FOUR: Top with chocolate curls or your favorite chocolate candy chopped into small pieces, if you like.
STEP FIVE: Refrigerate until ready to serve.
PRO TIP:
Chilling this dessert overnight will make it easier to cut and give it a thicker consistency. If you plan to make it a day ahead, add it to the fridge overnight.
How To Serve
Every chocolate lover won’t be able to resist diving into this delicious dessert. Serve it with a warm mug of homemade hot chocolate or a chocolate milkshake for an over-the-top treat.

Can this be kept in the refrigerator for several days before cutting and serving? Thanks!
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Lisa – I wouldn’t keep it for several days as it will change the texture. A day or two has been fine in my experience.
