Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pudding Layer

  • 2 (3.9 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 1/4 cups cold milk

Additional Layers and Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, warmed
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Additional mini marshmallows for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted unsalted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand in texture.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even crust layer.
  3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator and refrigerate to set, about 15-20 minutes, until firm to the touch.
  4. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add Whipping Cream and Vanilla: Pour in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract, then beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
  6. Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled Oreo crust layer.
  7. Prepare the Pudding Layer: Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with the cold milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes.
  8. Spread Pudding: Carefully spread the chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese layer to create the second big layer.
  9. Add Mini Marshmallows: Sprinkle the 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the pudding layer.
  10. Spread Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the layer of mini marshmallows.
  11. Add Hot Fudge Sauce: Drizzle the warmed hot fudge sauce over the whipped topping layer.
  12. Sprinkle Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Scatter mini chocolate chips and additional mini marshmallows over the top for garnish and extra texture.
  13. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 4 hours or until fully set and chilled through, allowing flavors to meld.
  14. Serve: Slice the chocolate lasagna into squares and serve chilled for a rich and decadent dessert experience.

Notes

  • This dessert requires a minimum of 4 hours chilling time to set properly; overnight chilling will improve texture and flavor.
  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream to achieve rich creaminess.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream or any store-bought whipped topping according to preference.
  • To warm hot fudge sauce, heat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until pourable but not hot.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
