Ingredients

For Oreo Crust:

  • 36 Oreo cookies-ground
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter-melted

Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Layer:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter-softened
  • 8 oz. cream cheese-softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 5 (0.73 oz) envelops of instant hot cocoa mix (milk chocolate flavor)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Chocolate Pudding Layer:

  • 2 (3.8 oz.) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Topping:

  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream (or 2 1/2 cups whipped cream)
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • Chocolate topping or Nutella for serving

Instructions

  1. To make the crust place whole Oreo cookies with the filling in a food processor and ground in fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of the 13 x 9-inch casserole dish. Place in the fridge or freezer to firm while making the next layer.
  2. To make Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Layer, beat softened butter and cream cheese with vanilla and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  3. In another bowl beat heavy whipping cream and instant milk chocolate powder until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the hot chocolate whipped cream in the cheesecake mixture, then fold in another half, Scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate everything well. Then, spread over the crust and set in the fridge or freezer to firm.
  4. For pudding layer in a bowl whisk instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until it starts thickening. Stir in mini marshmallows and spread over a hot chocolate mousse layer. Place it in the fridge or freezer to set.
  5. When the pudding layer has set, make whipped cream. Beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream on top of the pudding layer and place in the fridge for a few hours or better overnight.
  6. Before serving scatter 2 cups of mini marshmallows over whipped cream.
  7. Serve drizzled with melted chocolate, Nutella, or chocolate topping.
  8. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

Hot Chocolate Lasagna is the best the next day when it firms completely overnight in the fridge. You can make it 2-3 days ahead, but then I suggest making a chocolate pudding layer without marshmallows because marshmallows mixed in pudding became soggy after a few days in the fridge.
