Ingredients
Scale
For this delicious Best Chocolate Lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) chocolate instant pudding mix
- 3 ½ cups milk
- 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Crush the Cookies: In a food processor or using a zip-top bag and rolling pin, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You will need 1 ½ cups of crushed cookies for the crust and 1 cup for garnish.
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Press the Crust: Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. Place the dish in the fridge to set while you prepare the other layers.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
- Mix Cream Cheese and Powdered Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) until fully combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Pudding Layer:
- Make the Chocolate Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate instant pudding mix and milk until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Assemble the Lasagna:
- Layer the Cream Cheese Mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared cookie crust.
- Add the Pudding Layer: Pour the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread a generous layer of whipped topping over the pudding, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Add Garnishes: Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
Chill and Serve:
- Chill the Lasagna: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Once chilled, slice and serve. Enjoy the creamy, chocolatey layers!
