2containers(8 oz each) of whipped topping or Cool Whip
2(3.4 oz each) packages of instant chocolate pudding mix
2 1/2cupsof cold milk
Chocolate chips or chocolate curls as garnish (optional)
Instructions
Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or a plastic bag and a rolling pin to crush them. Set aside about 1/2-1 cup of the crumbs for use as garnish or topping later. In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the cookie crumbs with the melted butter.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place in the refrigerator to allow it to set as you’re preparing the other ingredients.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth, with no lumps remaining. Add the powdered sugar and 1 container of Cool Whip. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie crust. Return to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the instant chocolate pudding mix and add 2 1/2 cups of cold milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Allow it to set for about 5-10 minutes. Spread it over the cream cheese layer. Allow to chill and set for about 30 minutes before adding the whipped topping.
Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top of the chocolate pudding layer.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you're ready to serve, slice the no-bake chocolate lasagna into squares and enjoy! Garnish with the remaning oreo crumbs and chocolate curls, if desired.
Notes
Tips and Tricks:After your overnight chill, freeze the entire dessert for 1-2 hours before cutting. This firms up all layers equally, preventing the “squish and slide” effect in which the pudding oozes out and the whipped topping compresses.
