Chocolate Lasagna is a light and easy, no-bake layered dessert recipe with crushed Oreo, cream cheese and chocolate pudding! Topped with Cool Whip and chocolate chips, you won’t be able to resist trying this chocolate-overload dessert!

Chocolate Lasagna

My Favorite Chocolate Dessert Recipe

A few days ago, watching my favorite chocolate Pinterest board, I came to a really childish idea. I remembered the age old question which my friends and I asked ourselves when we were teenagers. Which three things would you take with you to a desert island?

“Well, Vera, which of all of your chocolate treats would you take to a desert island?” I was thinking to myself and laughing at the same time and knowing it was mission impossible. Of course, after that, you begin thinking, measuring and comparing different chocolate treats. Soon I was literally drooling 🙂

“Yes, that must be it”, I came to the conclusion looking at the beautiful Dark Chocolate Cheesecake (not to be mistaken with my Reese’s Cheesecake, which is also delicious). And as soon as I came to that conclusion, a picture of a proud Chocolate pie showed itself to me and asked: “Vera, you would seriously go without me”? 🙂  I couldn’t settle one situation, when the next one jumped right in front of me: decadent Tiramisu Brownies. “Take us too”, they were smiling gingerly. As time went on, there was less and less trace of an answer.

Layered Chocolate Lasagna with Oreos

And while many of chocolate desserts went on, one mysterious dessert was waiting for their five minutes of fame. And then…kaboooom !!! In front of me was, believe it or not – gorgeous Chocolate Lasagna. Wooow, OMG, wooow!!! That was it! If I ever have to go to a desert island, surely, the desert that I take with myself will be His Majesty – Chocolate Lasagna 🙂 .

Of course, you can imagine that I was doing this only looking for a next chocolate adventure and there it was, right in front of me! But my quest wasn’t looked so easy. I was scared! Lasagna looked so decadent!

Never mind!  After about 30. recipes that I have already put on this blog, I have learned a very important lesson. There is no such thing in my kitchen that will not be eaten in a matter of seconds by my chocoholics even in case of failure.

And in the end, it was not that bad! Hand on heart, it didn’t really look like it did on the best photos on Pinterest, but, one thing speaks louder than any word: the casserole that I baked my Chocolate Lasagna in was already waiting to be washed after just a few hours 🙂

Description

Chocolate Lasagna is a light and easy, no-bake layered dessert recipe with crushed Oreo, cream cheese and chocolate pudding! Topped with Cool Whip and chocolate chips, you won’t be able to resist trying this chocolate-overload dessert!


Ingredients

  • 36 Oreo cookies (regular, not double stuff)
  • 6 tablespoon butter-melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese-softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold milk
  • 12 ounce tub Cool Whip-divided
  • 2 – 3.9 ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding.
  • 3 1/4 cups cold milk
  • 1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a food processor finely crushed Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
  2. In a large bowl using a fork mix Oreo with 6 tablespoons melted. When the butter is mixed, transfer it to a 9 x 13 inch dish and using a spatula press down the crumbs into the bottom.
  3. Transfer the crust in the refrigerator while you are mixing the fillings.
  4. Mix the cream cheese until it’s fluffy, add 2 tablespoons of milk and sugar, and mix well. Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip.
  5. Spread the mixture over the crust.
  6. In a medium bowl mix chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk. Whisk for a few minutes until the pudding starts to thicken
  7. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Let it sit for 10 minutes to firm up the pudding.
  9. Spread remaining Cool Whip over the top and sprinkled with mini chocolate chips.
  10. Freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerate for 4 hours before serving

do you remove the inner frosting layer from the oreos before crumbling them

Vera Zecevic November 17, 2014 - 10:22 pm

Hi Tricia, use whole Oreo with the filling

I use the same ingredients with different crusts. One with flour, butter and nuts. one with graham crackers sugar and butter and of course the oreo’s. All are great.

This is amazing! I just made this for my dads bday. Its simple, easy, and yummy!!! But could you take the frosting out?

Reply
Renee August 20, 2015 - 6:21 pm

You have to have the fat from the cookie filling to hold the crust together.

Hi Jamie,you can keep it in a fridge for a few days.

Clare December 10, 2014 - 12:18 am

oh sounds so good and and looks beautiful! It will be my Christmas dessert and I will let you know how it comes out. One question.. Maybe I could whip some cream with heavy cream instead of cool whip?

Reply
Vera Zecevic December 10, 2014 - 2:52 pm

Thanks Clare. Of course, you can make some cream with heavy cream if you don’t like cool whip (cool whip is use just to make the recipe easier).
I hope you will like this, looking forward to hear from you after Christmas.
All the best.

I make this often for holidays. I cringe when people use whipped topping in it. I always use whipped whipping cream. Actually I hate to see whipped topping on any dessert.

Lori December 18, 2014 - 3:33 pm

Can I use sugar free jello pudding? The serving size is the same but the actual ounces between the regular and sugar free packs are different. I’ve already made the regular version and it was super yummy!!! 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Hi Lori,I guess you could use it,but I didn’t try it,let me know if you do.

Hi I am making this a day ahead then transporting it for a three hour drive. Should I freeze it overnight?

Hi Danyelle, I can’t help you with that, I store it in the fridge.Maybe you should try to freez it.

Hi Vera , really looks interesting … I’ve made non bake cheesecake couple of times & tis will surely includes in my collection . Juz 1 question : wat is choc instant pudding looks like ??? i doubt i can get it in any supermarts here in Asia .. Can it be replaced wif choc ganache ????

Reply
Vera Zecevic December 25, 2014 - 12:26 pm

Hi Zaky, if you make chocolate ganache make it creamy but not too thin, like chocolate filling.

How many does this serve. I Am wanting to make this for 100-125 people

Reply
Vera Zecevic February 12, 2015 - 1:57 pm

Hi Bev, it depends on how big pieces you cut, this is made in 9x13inch dish,so you could make about 30 servings maximum.

Raihana February 21, 2015 - 3:07 pm

Hi, I was wondering if this could be used as a layered dip for brownie sticks if the Oreo base was forgone? 🙂 Not sure if I want to leave it as it is or bake brownies to go with it or both…

Reply
Vera Zecevic February 21, 2015 - 3:38 pm

Hi Raihana, I think you could use it that way, too.

Hi, I’m in the UK, I’ve already found a substitution for cool white recipie but I’m. Not sure for the chocolate pudding part. We have “Angel Delight” but I don’t think it’s really the right consistency…. Any ideas?

I’m sorry Philly, I don’t know what to suggest you.

Debbie August 14, 2015 - 12:53 pm

You can just make chocolate custard as a substitute. You make you custard as per normal but add either cocoa or drinking chocolate powder to it…. we use it to fill profiteroles.
1L (4 cups) milk
5 egg yolks
215g (1 cup) caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
105g (3/4 cup) cornflour
60g unsalted butter, chopped
Drinking chocolate powder to taste

Hi, if I wanted to substitute the 36 Oreos with Oreo Baking Crumbs instead, any idea what would be the equivalent amount?

This is also amazing with a gingersnap crust and the pumpkin spice pudding mix for fall. You can substitute the carmel chips instead of the chocolate as well.

Is there any substitute for pudding I could do? No one in the house likes pudding, but this looks so good.

Hi Brianna, maybe you could try chocolate cool whip.

Jane October 1, 2015 - 4:08 pm

I made this for my husband and daughter and her family. I made two 8 x 8 pans so the kids could take one home. Everyone loved this, including two very picky eaters. I followed the recipe exactly except to put half the ingredients in one pan and half in the other. Thank you – it is now a family favorite and I have a feeling I will be making this many more times.

With a bit more work, I imagine this would be awesome with a very thin layer of brownie in place of the Oreo crust.

I was looking for something relatively easy to make for this year as it’s going to be a somber holiday for us since my mother in law passed Away 2 months ago. This is right up my alley. It sounds delish and easy! Thanks for the recipe. I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.

This identical recipe was published in Kraft’s magazine about 8 years ago, the only difference is the real recipe uses crushed candy canes for a topping. My daughter and i make it every christmas.

Reply
Tina December 19, 2015 - 3:24 pm

I do not like cream cheese. Can this be made without the layer of cream cheese? Should I double the chocolate pudding to replace the cream cheese or should I just leave out the cream cheese and not try to replace it?

What is (tub cool whip- divided ) in the ingredients. Kindly explain me, what is it exactly.

Reply
Vera Zecevic September 9, 2016 - 8:09 pm

Cool whip is whipped topping which you can bay in 12 oz. tub. You will use 1 1/4 cup of Cool whip for cream cheese layer(mixed with cream cheese) and remaining Cool whip is used as topping onto chocolate pudding layer.

I’ve made this multiple times before, and we are doing christmas with some of my family in 6 days and i was going to make it today as i will be at work all week and too tired to make it one night after, I know it’s usually good in the fridge for about 3 days, but how long do you think it would last in the freezer?
