My aunt had a barbecue over the weekend and I jumped on the chance to test out this chocolate lasagna recipe. Oreos are great for no-bake recipes (see my Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Oreo Bon Bons) and with all the flavors coming out lately, you could really switch up the direction of this no-bake dessert.

But, gimme all the chocolate.

Perfect for Potlucks

If you love chocolate then this is the layered dessert for you. It’s full of creamy, dreamy flavors and textures that make your taste buds happy. Because it’s layered into one pan, it’s the perfect take along for potlucks, parties and holidays.

Since there’s no baking involved with this chocolate lasagna, you won’t have to heat up your kitchen making it perfect for warm months as well.

Changing the Topping

See the fun mini chocolate chips on top? You can even change the feeling of this no-bake dream by substituting shaved chocolate for the chocolate chips. Use a vegetable peeler to shave a bar of bittersweet chocolate, creating short or long ribbons to sprinkle on top.

Why bittersweet instead of semisweet or milk chocolate? You can certainly use whichever chocolate you prefer, but because there’s less sugar in a bittersweet bar, it simply shaves better creating prettier chocolate shavings for this chocolate lasagna.

So while chocolate chips are fun for a barbecue or birthday party, you might want to try shaved chocolate for a holiday get together.

You will need:

• 1 package regular (not Double Stuff) Oreo cookies (36 cookies) WITH the cream centers
• 6 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 brick (8 oz) cream cheese, at room temp
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 3/4 cups milk, plus 2 Tablespoons, divided
• 2 (8 oz) tubs of Cool Whip
• 2 (3.9 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding
• mini chocolate chips

Kitchen tools you’ll find useful:

• electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• food processor
• 13×9 baking dish
• rubber spatula

How to Make Chocolate Lasagna

1. Use a food processor (or a zip top bag and a rolling pin) to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs.
2. Into a medium bowl, pour in the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
3. Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish and use a spatula (or the bottom of a measuring cup) to evenly press the crumbs across the dish.
4. In the same medium bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add in the 2 Tablespoons of milk and sugar and mix well.
5. Fold the contents of one of the 8 oz Cool Whip containers into the cream cheese mixture.
6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie crust and pop it into the fridge to set for about 10 minutes.
7. While it’s setting, to a large bowl, add the pudding mixes and 2 3/4 cups milk and beat on medium until it starts to thicken.
8. Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Put back into the fridge to set for another 10 minutes.
9. Once set, gently spread the remaining 8 oz of Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
10. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill for at least 4 hours in the fridge or 1 hour in the freezer before you slice.

Expert Tips & FAQs

• Do not remove the cream centers from the cookies. Use regular Oreos, not Double Stuff. 36 cookies = 3 cups of crumbs.
• Use 2 boxes of instant pudding, do not use Cook n Serve.
• For a fancier presentation, substitute shaved chocolate for the chocolate chips. Use a vegetable peeler to shave a bar of bittersweet chocolate, creating short or long ribbons to sprinkle on top. There's less sugar in a bittersweet bar, it simply shaves better creating prettier chocolate shavings.
• If you have extra time, I highly recommend popping the dessert into the freezer after each step. It makes it easier to spread each layer. 
• If you prefer, you can use an equal amount of homemade whipped topping instead of Cool Whip. To substitute whisk 3 cups of heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form. 
• You can make this dessert up to 3 days ahead, keep refrigerated.
