Ingredients You’ll Need (with Substitutions)
Oreo Crust
- 33 original chocolate Oreo cookies (from a standard 13.29 oz pack)
Stick with original, not double-stuffed—less filling gives a sturdier crust. - 6 tbsp melted butter
Salted or unsalted both work. Just melt and mix.
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Set it out 30 minutes before so it blends smoothly. - ¾ cup powdered sugar
You can sub in ¼ cup granulated sugar, but powdered gives better texture. - 2 tbsp milk
Whole milk makes it richer, but low-fat works too. - 6 oz Cool Whip
Cool Whip holds up better than homemade whipped cream.
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 packs (3.9 oz each) of instant chocolate pudding
Regular or chocolate fudge flavors are both great. - 3¼ cups cold milk
Chill your milk beforehand so the pudding sets properly.
Toppings
- 6 oz Cool Whip
Spread it on as the final creamy layer. - 1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
They’re not essential, but they add a fun crunch and extra chocolate love.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crush the Oreos until they’re fine crumbs. A food processor works best, but a rolling pin and a zip-top bag do the job too.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press into a 9×13 inch dish to form a crust. Try to get an even layer across the bottom.
- Chill the crust for 5 minutes in the freezer while you prep the filling.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold in 6 oz Cool Whip, then spread this cream cheese layer over the chilled crust.
- In a second bowl, whisk pudding mix and 3¼ cups cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Let it sit for another minute to finish setting.
- Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining Cool Whip, smoothing it out to the edges.
- Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, if using.
- You can serve it right away, but for the best texture, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Expert Tips for Success
- Chill your crust for a firmer base. Just five minutes in the freezer makes a difference.
- Use powdered sugar in the cream cheese layer for a smoother finish and better hold.
- Stick with Cool Whip over homemade whipped cream. It stays stable longer in the fridge.
- If making ahead, refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. The flavors meld beautifully overnight.
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
You can store this no-bake chocolate Oreo lasagna in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a fitted lid.
Want to freeze it? You can. Wrap the dish well in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Leftovers taste even better the next day. Just keep it cold and covered.
