Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, planning a birthday dessert bar, or simply craving something sweet and cold, this Oreo Chocolate Lasagna is guaranteed to impress.

Ingredients

For the Crust and Layers

  • 36 regular Oreo cookies (about one standard package)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 small packages instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz each)
  • 3 cups cold milk

For Garnish

  • 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
  • Extra crushed Oreos (from remaining cookies)

Instructions

1. Make the Oreo Crust

Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Mix them with melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate to set while preparing the layers.

2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. This creates a smooth, fluffy layer.

3. Mix the Pudding Layer

Whisk together pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Let it rest a few minutes to continue thickening.

4. Layer the Dessert

Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust, followed by half of the pudding. Repeat with the remaining layers, smoothing each one evenly.

5. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) to allow the layers to firm up and flavors to blend.

6. Garnish and Serve

Crush the remaining Oreos and sprinkle over the top. Add mini chocolate chips for extra richness. Slice and serve chilled.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with whipped cream or ice cream for an ultra-creamy dessert plate.
  • Serve individually in parfait cups for parties or elegant gatherings.
  • Freeze slightly before serving for firmer slices and a semi-frozen treat.

Helpful Tips & Variations

  • Make it chocolate deluxe: Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla or swirl chocolate and vanilla together.
  • Try different Oreo flavors: Mint, peanut butter, golden Oreos, or birthday cake create new versions.
  • Add texture: Try chopped nuts, mini Reese’s cups, or crushed candy bars on top.
  • Make it lighter: Replace heavy cream with whipped topping.
  • For extra richness: Replace half the milk in the pudding with heavy cream.

Whether it’s the crunch of Oreos or the cool layers of pudding and cream cheese, this dessert never fails to steal the spotlight. Bring it to a gathering once, and expect requests for it again and again. It’s simple, memorable, and absolutely irresistible—the ultimate chilled dessert for any occasion.

Oreo Chocolate Lasagna

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 36 regular Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package; for the crust and layers)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted (for the cookie crust)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (for the creamy filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for sweetness in the filling)
  • 2 cups heavy cream (for whipping and creating a smooth, fluffy texture)
  • 2 small packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix (for the pudding layer)
  • 3 cups cold milk (for the pudding layer)
  • 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips (for garnish and extra chocolate flavor)

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Make the Oreo crust: Begin by crushing 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the cookies in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin or pulsing them in a food processor. Once crushed, mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, forming an even crust. Place the dish in the fridge to set while you prepare the next layers.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This will create a light, fluffy filling for the lasagna.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes, until the pudding begins to thicken. Once thickened, set aside to firm up further for a few minutes.
  4. Assemble the lasagna: Spread half of the cream cheese filling over the prepared Oreo crust in the baking dish. Then, spread half of the pudding layer over the cream cheese filling. Repeat the process with the remaining cream cheese filling and the rest of the pudding layer, smoothing each layer evenly.
  5. Chill the dessert: After all the layers are assembled, cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the top of the Oreo lasagna with the remaining 12 crushed Oreo cookies and sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for a chocolatey finish. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy, rich layers of this indulgent treat!
