Lasagna comes in several forms, including one that is often forgotten, dessert. This particular recipe is no-bake, and features Oreos. It's easy to assemble and perfect for people who love chocolatey treats. The article below presents instructions for making this dish.
Ingredients
- 1 family pack Oreos (about 48 cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 block softened cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 3/4 cup cold milk
- 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding (3.9 oz each)
Steps
-
1Prepare the crust. Combine the Oreos with the butter, and place them at the bottom of a lasagna pan. Use about half the Oreo package.
- Don't overblend your Oreos, as this makes the crust mushy.
-
2Press the crust. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of your lasagna pan, forming an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to pack it so it holds together.Advertisement
-
3Cool the crust in the refrigerator. It may take at least 10-20 minutes to chill, but if you want a firmer texture further, chill it for about 30 minutes.
-
4Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
-
5Spoon the cream cheese mix over the crust. Spread it into an even layer using a spatula. Ensure smoothness and levelness so the next layers sit neatly ontop.
-
6Add the Cool Whip to the original pan containing the cream cheese mix. This gives the layer a creamy texture.

1Make the pudding according to the package directions. You can use either a regular or family size package of pudding. Most will take the mix and milk, but others may have different ingredients, so prepare accordingly.
- Keep in mind that making the family size pudding will increase the amount of pudding, so it will be enough to either fill a taller pie or make two pies.
-
2Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese mix. Use a spatula to spread it, while keeping this layer even and making sure it expands to the corners.
-
3Chop up half of the remaining Oreos. Use a Ziploc bag and crush up the Oreos, forming a powder-like consistency.
- Avoid placing these in a blender, as a blender has a hard time moving when so much of the mix is placed inside of it.
-
4Fold the Oreo pieces into the pudding using a spatula. Sweep slowly from the bottom of the bowl to avoid breaking the cookies to absolute crumbles.
-
5Spoon out the pudding and Oreo mix as another layer of the lasagna. Use a spatula, if necessary.
-
6Spread Cool Whip evenly over the top into a smooth layer using a spatula. For a neater look, add the Cool Whip in dollops and connect them. You can pipe it on using a piping bag for a decorative finish.

1Garnish the lasagna with the remaining Oreos. Sprinkle the remaining Oreos over the top. For extra texture, mix larger chunks with finer crumbs. You can also add chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, if you'd like.
-
2Chill the lasagna. Refrigerate this mix for 2-4 hours, or until the layers are firm to slice.
- For best results, chill it overnight, as the longer time helps the crust set and allows the layers to hold their shape.
-
3Press the top of the lasagna near the center, gently. It should feel firm and hold its shape without sinking. If it still feels soft or the pudding shifts, return the dish to chill for another 30-60 minutes. A fully set dish will slice cleanly and keep its layers distinct.
-
4Use a sharp knife or a spatula to cut the lasagna into lasagna squares. Wipe the knife between cuts for cleaner slices. Serve chilled.
-
5Store the leftovers. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap (or aluminum foil) or store in an airtight container.
- You can freeze this lasagna for no more than 1 month, but thaw it in the refrigerator before serving again.

Tips
-
For a softer crust, use Double-Stuff Oreos. The extra filling helps the crumbs stick together and creates a slightly chewier base.Thanks
-
Use flavored Oreos for rich flavors outside of just the chocolate. There are mint Oreos, along with Peanut Butter cup Oreos, while others may be possible in the same Nabisco line.Thanks
