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.

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.

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

Serve it with a warm mug of homemade hot chocolate or a chocolate milkshake for an over-the-top treat.
