Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 14.3 ounces package of Oreo cookies regular, not double stuffed
- ½ cup melted margarine or butter
Cheesecake 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
Topping
- 8 ounces Cool Whip softened
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies reserved from crust
- Chocolate syrup
- Chocolate curls or your favorite chocolate candy (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Add whole Oreos to a food processor and pulse until crumbles are even. Reserve one cup of the crushed Oreos for the topping. Mix the remaining crushed Oreos with half a cup of melted margarine and pat the mixture onto the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 10-20 minutes to set.
- Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a bowl, mix 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 8 ounces of softened Cool Whip, and one cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator to chill for 10-20 minutes.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, combine one package of instant vanilla pudding and one package of instant chocolate pudding with three cups of cold milk, whisking until thickened. Spread this pudding mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Add the Final Topping: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top. Drizzle a light layer of chocolate syrup across the entire dessert. Optionally, add chocolate curls or your favorite chopped chocolate candy for garnish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the chocolate lasagna until ready to serve, allowing all layers to set thoroughly, about 30 minutes or longer for best consistency.
Notes
- Allow each layer to chill in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes to achieve distinct layers and proper firmness.
- If you do not have a food processor, place Oreos in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in M&M’s, nuts, or other favorite candies.
- Store the dessert covered tightly with plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the dessert in an airtight container or freezer bag for 2-3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
